"Copyfication" for "immobile replication" or "immobile self-replication".
Contents
The four sides of the immobile self-replication square
There are four necessary requirements on selfreplicativity for a gemstone metamaterial on-chip factory.
Needed are:
- replication capability
- building block availability
- energy supply
- blueprint data mobility (a mere digital access to a central copy is sufficient, some redundancy is advisable though for resiliency)
Not needed are:
- replicator mobility -- needed for the (outdated) molecular assembler concept
- sufficient adaptivity -- needed only by biological life
Intuitive image of pileup and congestion
Just like on a photocopier on the output side products pile up, and if they are not removed
manually then the clog prevents any further copying process.
Pileups could be quite bad though if congestions are not detected.
Remotely related topic: Breach of a global microcomponent redistribution system.
In contrast replicators (replication pentagon applies) move actively out of the way (arbitrarily far)
to make space for an arbitrary amount of further replications.
Blueprint data mobility
A note on "blueprint data mobility":
The biological example of DNA with a full nanomechanically encoded datastorage copy in
every single cell is ridiculously inefficient and nothing we would want to mimic in artificial systems for manufacturing.
