The technology levels are mainly an advancement in building material quality (stiffness).
But intermingled here is also a change of means of assembly and a transiction into PPV vacuum.
Looking at the materials alone one has the building material capability levels. Somewhat orthogonal to the building material capability levels are the assembly scale capability levels.
- Technology level 0 - early foldamer tec - self assembly
- Step: Introduction of total positional control
- Technology level I - advanced foldamer tec with some positional assembly
- Step: Switch-over to stiffer materials
- Technology level II - in solvent biomineral gem-gum-tec
- Step: Introduction of practically perfect vacuum
- Technology level III - in vacuum gem-gum-tec - main far term target of gem-gum factories reached
- Beyond the main target: gem-gum nanomedicine
Eventual side products associated with these levels
- Side products of technology level 0
- Side products of technology level I
- Side products of technology level II
- Side products of technology level III
- Products of gem-gum-tec
- Most speculative potential applications
