Tooltip cycle

In order to gain a better understanding of the degree of complexity that is involved in a minimal system for tooltip processing.
The author of this wiki made an attempt of converting all the piezomechanochemistry that is presented in the paper
"A Minimal Toolset for Positional Diamond Mechanosynthesis (paper)"
into a flowchart.

The results:

• there is significant complexity - on the limit of what can be done manually
• it's hart to get it all into one single picture
• its hard to clearly divide into educt and product side since
  it's not always clearly defined what's the educt and what's the product
• there likely was more - {{wikitodo| old work on tooltip-cycle-graph needs to be reviewed to point that out.

Beyond mechanosynthesis of diamond

There are many other gemstone like materials beyond diamond that are also of interest.
See: Base materials with high potential

• Lattice scaled stiffness
• Dissipation sharing

Silicon & silicon carbide

Silicon may be easier to mechanosynthesize as it has bigger atoms and weaker bonds.
Though in a chain of successively weaker bonding it (to have >>kT per reaction) it is reached earlier than carbon.

Having >>kT per reaction is actually very wasteful.
Future optimizations could reduce that significantly.
Retain high reliability even with a dissipation <<kT per reaction
might be possible via employing the technique of dissipation sharing.

Silicon carbide is superior to diamond in terms of heat resistance.
It does not want to convert to graphite like diamond does.

Materials with higher lattice scaled stiffness than diamond

See main page: Lattice scaled stiffness
Pyrite (iron sulfide FeS₂) and cerianite (cerium oxide CeO₂) are given as examples.

Meta: Issues to resolve

(wiki-TODO: resolve issues with the graphics - it was too big in pixel dimensions not file-size)
