Talk:Gemstone-like molecular element
Current situation:
- Crystolecule aka Gemstone-like molecular element – gem-like (including diamondoid) – smaller single part
- Crystolecular element – gem-like (including diamondoid) – bigger multipart
- Diamondoid crystolecule – only diamondoid – smaller single part
- Diamondoid crystolecular machine element – only diamondoid – bigger multipart
Terminology needs to be made more consistent!!
Maybe like so (with same order respectively):
- Crystolecule – (these are always gemstone-like
- Crystolecular compound element
- Diamondoid crystolecule
- Diamondoid crystolecular compound element
"Compound" as in "constituted out of several disjunct parts".
Also this needs a Venn diagram!
Two dimensions with each two options make four cases:
- diamondoid or not
- compound element or single part
For now keep eventual discussions of the other two possible dimensions on page.
- structural-element vs machine-element dimension and
- size-scale dimension

New problem:
"Molecular machine elements" may consist out of several "crystolecules".
That is a single "Molecular machine elements" may not be a single monolithic fully covalently connected "crystolecule block"
but instead by a reversibly or irreversibly shape locked conglomerate of "crystolecules".
Thus some parts of this pages need to be split off.
The question is: Where should the existing links be redirected to? I guess:
- existing links should generally stay directed to "Gemstone-like molecular element".
- current links Links to "crystolecule" should be replaced by "gem-gum element"
- "crystolecule" should become a new page that describes individual non-covalently bonded parts of "Gemstone-like molecular machine elements"

TODO: Discuss separability of structural elements and machine elements
- sigma bond bearing as machine element ...
- machine element parts ar structural elements ...
Move machine elements and structural elements out on their own pages
- page becomes too long
- wanted to reference those two separately from outside repeatedly
