This is about a possible sub-branch of the [[incremental path]]. <br>

This approach involves getting to a [[positional assembly kinematic loop]] ASAP. <br>

The idea here is to scale up general purpose [[self-assembly]] capabilities of various [[foldamer]] technologies just enough, 
such that one arrives at basic building block modularity sufficient for creating [[positional assembly kinematic loop]]s.

Despite building block modularity there is no modularity of functionality within the creatable [[positional assembly kinematic loop]]s yet though. I.e. while blocks are modular, catalysis/sensing/… functionality on the blocks is not modular (highly cross talking).

== On the partial lack of separability of engineering concerns ==

'''For the sake of getting early to marketable products still absent separation of engineering concerns in block functionality is accepted!''' <br>
'''Meaning:'''
----
* switching out one block can change the functionality of all the other blocks in hard to predict ways. But:
* switching out blocks is easy and straightforward as their base shape is modular and predictable
----
Only building block modularity is present. <br> 
Not modularity of functionality carried by the blocks. <br>
Related: The infamous [[fat finger problem]]
----
There is building block modularity that allows for combinatoric exploration of <br>
a hyper-giant very-hard-to-seach-through space the non-modular functions crated by combination of blocks.
----
Aspects of the design concerning a potentiall present closed [[positional assembly kinematic loop]] 
cannot yet be changed independently.<br>
----

'''Delineation:''' <br>
This is unlike in the [[printer approach]].  <br>
There functionality of products allows for separation of engineering concerns.<br>

== Evaluation scheme ==

{{wikitodo|eventually add [[functional block combinatoric evaluation scheme]]}}

== More simple sub-problem ==

It is basically the '''[[functional block construction kit approach]]''' but <br>
with [[self assembly|selfassembled]] actuation elements of some sorts in order to better facilitate chemical reactions.<br>
Or at least sensing like in a [[molecular universal testing machine]].

Since '''foldamer based artificial catalysis is a very hard problem''' <br>
a sensing/detecting is possibly a sub-problem to split off and solve first.

As there is nor catalytic manipulation there is no [[positional assembly kinematic loop]] present in this case.
