This article defines a novel term (that is hopefully sensibly chosen). The term is introduced to make a concept more concrete and understand its interrelationship with other topics related to atomically precise manufacturing. For details go to the page: Neologism.
The reproduction hexagon as an analogon to the combustion triangle lists all the requirements which must be met at the same time such that unbounded and uncontollable growth can happen [todo: add SVG]

Reproduction vs Replication

The term "reproduction" was conciously choosen to point at the fact that sufficient adaptability e.g. mutations are included in the hexagon. Removing this requirement from the hexagon one ends up with the replication pentagon where the term "replication" is used in the sense of exactly identical copies.

Adaptability by mutations is a property that today is only observed in living systems. It is absolutely not necessary for advanced productive nanosystems like nanofactories.
