Gem-gum factory design parameters
- Compenslow: A parameter quantifying deliberate increase of internal bearing area for reduced friction.
An explaination for why this works is on the page: Higher throughput of smaller machinery
Whole numbered parameters:
- n … Number of sub-layers of the assembly layer
- B … Branching factor
Unitless factors
- F … Chamber to part size ratio
- C … Scaling factor (near one) for average distance traveled per one-part-placed
- D … Scaling factor (slightly above one) for chip-area per chamber-area
(wiki-TODO: Reslove conflict with D on page …)
- Q or T … Throughput – in m³/s
Many design parameters can be different for each assembly level.
That is: The design parameters can be indexed by the assembly level.

Live adjustable parameters
- v_A … speed of assembly motions
- v_T … speed of transport motions
On the throughput parameter
In order to avoid unusable capacities it seems desirable to design for
continuity of throughput across assembly level boundaries.
See: Nanofactory math based on continutiy of throughput
This is just good as a first approximation though.
Intentionally deviating from continuity of throughput
Even significantly deviating from continuity of througput
across assembly level boundaries can have merits.
So the case for assembly level boundaries ...
- with a strong irreversible to reversible assembly transition
- with a lot of recompositional recycling turnaround (above former transition; highly use case dependent)
Why? Because even if upper assembly levels are underutilized
when all of the product is mechanosynthesized de-novo from scratch
when production instead is combined with recompositional recycling instead
then some or all of excess capacity can be utilized.
