To get a complete picture of all the convergent assembly levels of a nanofactory all in one image one needs to project space.
Normal perspective (a linear projection) is unsuitable since it compresses most details towards the horizon.
Instead a nonlinear polar logarithmic mapping is the best fit.
An additional difficulty is that a nanofactory as opposed to a map is inherently three dimensional so some cross cut has to be choosen. It depends on the nanofactories design whether that cross cut can be simply planar or not.
