Up: Spill of sub microscale objects

This page is about likely desirable guidelines to prevent
fine-grained spill of non-degrading diamondid materials into the environment.

  • bones and sponge-luffa analogy

Disambiguation

  • Avoiding designing and handling of gem-gum products such
    that they release/spill many small non-degradably potentially problematic particles.
  • Avoiding replicator mobility in the reproduction hexagon eventually leading to spills.

Health risks

Diamondoid dust of various kinds may act as pollutant harmful to health when ingested or inhaled.
Acting similar to microplastics or silicate dust but even less degradable for some gemstones including diamond.
Accidents are imaginable at all scales.

Mobile robotic micro and nano devices

In the case of utility fog long filigree legs (that may be desired for emulating low density gasses) might be peculiarly amenable to breakage. Some designs may intentionally allow for bots leaving the machine phase which can be a fist step to irreversible spill.

Future diamondoid medical nanobots pretty much per definition need to be free floating out of machine phase. As such they inherently pose a bigger problem. A thing to be aware of. They may be designed to be bio-compatible initially. But environmental release and accumulation must be taken into account too.

Mitigation strategies

  • Avoid/scorn corner cutting metamaterial designs designs that allow for mechanical damage and irreversible spill.
    Being it either by hardware overload or by software flaws.
  • Hierarchical intended breakage points preferring breakage to large macroscopic or mesoscopic chunks.
  • Reversible intended breakage points. Things stay connected but get much more leeway to move apart.
  • If it can get loose it will get loose (collary of Murphys law). So built systems that can't get loose. One way to do that is by using LIFO hierarchical locking.
  • Take a focus in software regarding spill prevention. E.g. use proof assistants to prove that critical code is adhering to specified properties. As breathable air is critically important.
