Positive characteristics of gem-gum technology

In a world with advanced atomically precise technology no one (no matter how remote) needs to run around without shoes anymore. On a sunny day anybody can create oneself a pair in a few hours out of nothing but molecules from the air (or out of prefabricated microcomponents from a public outlet, in case one is near to such infrastructure). To get one of these pocket sized production devices one goes to ones local community (or friends/family). They will (with little effort) use their production devices to make one for you. If one is located in a remote place without power supply and the production process progresses too slow, then one just makes some more solar cell foil first. The data for fulfilling basic needs and more can become free, open source, or ad-supported. Beyond that one will still need to pay some form of money for some proprietary luxury products.

The characters of advanced atomically precise production economy

Good resource availability

(TODO: Add several graphics: element abundance, graphic)

• element abundance on earth
• (normal) mode of operation
• atmospheric composition
• water content of atmosphere (add illustrative ballonpop condensation image)
• air usage mode of operation + math

Good energy availability

• CO2 collector buoys + image of research buoy today

Improved transport (among others: freshwater)

upgraded street infrastructure

• solar paving
• hydrogen micro-capsule energy line
• infinitesimal bearings
• gas water

Capsule transport

Medium accelerator / pushers. Diverse new means for transport:

• microcomponents
• chemical energy carrier **
• mechanical removal of snow and ice in small pieces,
• alternatives for water and gas lines
• bigger pipe mail like transport for non atomically precise goods
• heat pump capsules
• resource gas capsules

Upgraded rails and or wheels for trains.

Power transmission

mechanicity as an analog to electricity
Chemical lines buried in the ground instead of electrical lines overhead. (TODO: add image) Solid body no leaks - entropic storage - cooling on accident.

Replacement of big industry cheap materials through hightech metamaterials

• Asphalt -> multifunction streets
• Concrete -> dust free quickly changeable hyper-isolating ultralight construction
• Steel tracks -> "traintrack-warp-drive"?
• Car and plane aluminum -> scratch- and dent-free metamaterials
• Wood -> feel well metamaterials
• plastics -> metamaterials that are: long time stable (UV), non poisonous, recyclable without quality loss

High productivity & potentially excellent product recycling

• Global microcomponent redistribution system - (connecting to its assembly level)
• new recycling cycles
• microcomponent recomposition mode of operatiopn
• edgy splinters and floating stuff (TODO: add image of washed round glass)

Good distributability

• due to sum of aforementioned points

High system stability through material deglobalisation

• disaster proof
• no food

(TODO: add location in the exploratory engineering map)

Misc

Clothing

Main article: Gem gum suit

• A suite that is a house for one person like a spacesuit that is a spaceship for one person - being houseless does not mean major discomfort anymore it decouples from being homeless.
• thermal switching metamaterial
• telepresence
