Data decompression chain
The data decompression chain is the sequence of expansion steps from
- very compact highest level abstract blueprints of technical systems to
- discrete and simple lowest level instances that are much larger in size.

3D modelling
(TODO: add details)
- high language 1: functional, logical, connection to computer algebra system
- high language 2: imperative, functional
- constructiv esolid geometry graph (CSG graph), parametric surfaces
- quadrik nets C1
- triangle nets C0
- toolpaths
- Primitive signals: step-signals, rail-switch-states, clutch-states, ...
Targets
- physical object
- virtual simulation
CSG Scenegraphs & functional programming
Modeling of static 3D models is purely declarative.
- example: OpenSCAD

Similar situations in today's computer architectures
- high level language ->
- compiler infrastructure (e.g. llvm) ->
- assembler language ->
- actual actions of the target data processing machine
Bootstrapping of the decompression chain
One of the many flawed critique points of APM is that all the necessary data cannot be fed to the mechanosynthesis cores and crystolecule assembly robotics (the former are mostly hard coded and don't need much data by the way).
For example this size comparison in E. Drexlers TEDx talk (2015) 13:35 can (if taken to literally) can lead to the misjudgment that there is an fundamentally insurmountable data bottleneck. Of course feeding yotabit per second over those few pins is ridiculous but that is not what is planned.
We already know how to avoid such a bottleneck. Albeit we program computers with our fingers delivering just a few bits per second computers now perform petabit per second internally.
The goal is reachable by gradually building up a hierarchy of decompression steps. The most low level most high volume data is generated internally and locally very near where it's finally "consumed".
