== Limited fractal character in assembly levels ==

Due too changing physics over size scales (See: [[scaling law]]s) <br>
there is quite some deviation from a self similar (aka fractal) design when going down <br>
the [[assembly levels]] (which might be implemented as [[assembly layers]]) of a [[gem-gum factory]]. <br>
That is: Lower assembly levels are not quite scaled down versions of the assembly levels higher up. <br>
The similarity of [[macroscale style machinery at the nanoscale]] is just a similarity in first approximation. <br>
Taking a closer look reveals that there are huge differences.

== About fractal branching networks ==

For one reason why tree like or lung-like or blood-vessel-like designs are not necessarily a good approach see:
* [[Fractal growth speedup limit]]

== Fractal design for system redundancy ==

See: [[Resilience boost by fractal design]] – e.g. in [[muscle motor]]s
