This is about components (building parts) that are expectable to be handeled by future advanced gemstone metamaterial on-chip factories.
Listed are components on all size scales starting with the smallest the mallest ones. The Molecule fragments aka moieties.
The size steps here are (by convention for the whole wiki) chosen to be of size ~x32. Two steps make exactly x1000.
List of the hierarchy of components
- Smaller than atoms – for all we currently know this is not physically possible
- Molecule fragments aka moieties – (~0.2nm for carbon atoms) and some atoms like hydrogen and halogen atoms
- Crystolecules – ~2nm (varying a lot) – built in ~32nm chambers
- Crystolecular elements – ~64nm – built in ~1µm chambers
- Microcomponents – ~2000nm = ~2µm – built in ~32µm chambers
- Mesocomponents – ~64µm – built in ~1mm chambers
- Millimeter sized components – ~2000µm = 2mm – built in ~32mm chambers
- 64mm sized components
- Meter sized components
Gravity becomes relevant.
Structures increasingly become sparse trussworks.
At some point tidal forces, self gravity and the
limits of the solar systems resources become relevant.
See: Asteroid belt.
About standard components and size scales
Smaller components are generally more fundamental and reusable than bigger ones. The smallest components though have
- irreversibilities (seamless covalen welding) and
- inefficiencies (high energy turnover in piezochemical mechanosynthesis)
in their assembly process. This is hampering reusability. So the sweet spot of reusability may lie in the middle size scales with microcomponents.
Most of the basic mechanical circuit elements will likely be components at the smallest scale that allows for nontrivial geometries (crystolecules). But bigger mechanical circuit elements at the microcomponent scale may be of use as well.
