This page covers considerations regarding an early crystolecule system
that can eventually approach non-compact selfreplicative capability.
This page is not a bout molecular assemblers.
Not even molecular assemblers stuck onto a chip.

Semi reasonable seeming szenario

Positive formulation:

  • a non-compact system expanding to the size it wants to be in order to eventually reach selfreplicativity
  • an open-exterior nano-system, i.e. there's no vacuum box enclosing an eventually "replicative unit pixel"
    (see vacuum handling below)
  • an non-monolithic open-borders nanosystem (i.e. components from adjacent "replicative unit pixel" can cross over to collaborate)
  • strong separation of concerns in sub-systems e.g. a carrier chassis just to carry subsystems around

Due to non-compactness:

Negative formulation: Unlike an molecular assembler

  • not ultra-compact in volume - not forced in a box of desired size
  • no expanding vacuum hull - and no box enclosing the whole system as part of the nanosystem
  • no monolithic closed-borders design (i.e. adjacent subsystems can cross over)
  • no whole system mobility

Vacuum handling

Only the mechanosynthesis happens in PPV (assembly level 1).
Assembly of crystolecules to assemblies of them (assembly level 2) is done in clean air.
For that a macroscale enclosing cleanroom box (or anything better) suffices.

Vacuum chambers for mechanosynthesis are hard non-expandable and as big as needed.
They can be as big as permitted by the assembly mechanism. Smaller might be preferrable for more modularity.

For expelling the fully mechanosynthesized and passivated crystlecules out into clean air space.

Vacuum chambers are non-momolithic out of many crystolecules held together by
vdW force or form closing interlock. They are assembled in clean air.

The vacuum just needs a single exponential pumpdown using the
lockout mechanism as positive displacemnt pump.
Fro then on no mumping is needed because the mechanism has
zero gas molecule backflow during crystolecule lockout.
See: Vacuum lockout

Potentially individually movable subsystems

This is obviously hopelessly incomplete ATM.

Core subsystems

Assembly stages:

  • crystolecule stick-n-place stage
  • mechanosynthesis stage (eventually with gas-tight walls and zero-backflow airlock)

Basic compute – cam follower unit for nonlinear robot control ?? – stepper control stuff? coarse to fine swithcing ??

Crystolecule recomposition management subsystems:

  • part dispenser magazines carried carried on a wide attachment chains
    giving a lot of part storage density like in movable libraries but faster access

Early automation:

  • rail assembly factorylet

Machine elements

These are the sub-systems of the sub-systems.
Typically many off them rigidly connected.
