Systems of T.Level I could be two dimensional arrays of robotic manipulators out of atomically precise blocks and other AP base structures on self assembled scaffold on a chips surface. Building in the third dimesion may unnecessary complicate design because a layered configuration is a natural choice favoured by scaling laws.
This arrays could be produced by some method between
- exponential assembly
- a pritive form self replication using use pre-built blocks and external signals from broadcast channels of the chips surface.
Mascroscopic design examples
There where already several block based self replication systems proposed designed and built.
One example of those can be found here thingiverse_thing:978
[Todo: add more examples]
An actual implementation will be more on the exponential assembly side and less of a "nonproductive replicator" (KRSM classification)
Differences to most macroscopic models in existance capable of partial structural replication are:
- the blocks / parts will have different properties (low stiffness, low smoothness)
- the actuation method will differ (fast alternating big scale electric field / slow chemical stepping)
- the system may be two dimensional
- a productive instead of a nonproductive replicator is wished for
To investigate:
- How to assemble the materials used in the next technology level with the here present block based nanosystems?
