Up: General concept: Convergent assembly
Hierarchical selfassembly (also convergent selfassembly) is the case when
structures get self-assembled from parts that themselves where previously self-assembled.
This implies that hierarchical selfassembly is a subform of iterative self-assembly.
(Iterative self-assembly also covers repeated additions of parts of the same size.)
Note that hierarchical selfassembly is not exclusive to thermally driven self-assembly only.
Hierarchical selfassembly is also applicable to:
