Convergent assembly is the general process of taking small parts and putting them together to bigger parts and then taking those bigger parts and putting them together to even bigger parts and so on.
Convergent assembly must not be confused with exponential assembly (a concept for bootstrapping AP manufacturing).
Details
In a nanofactory the convergent assembly levels can be identified with the abstract assembly levels (including the more scale invariant ones lying further up). Stacking those levels to layers as a concrete configuration makes a system practical and easy to analyze.
- Convergent assembly is not a means to speed up production.
- Specialisation ...
- Relation to recycling ...
