	For artificial [[machine phase]] systems an organization of [[assembly levels]] into [[assembly layers]] seems to be the obvious starting point for design. When liquid or gas phase is involved then dendridic tree like designs that have too much branching to match a layered design might be the better choice.

For the fist technology level that is unentabgably intertwined with [[selfassembly]] they are called [[hierarchical selfassembly]] levels.]]

			'''Convergent [[assembly level]]s''' are plotted to the right for the but only for the higher [[technology level]]s that already feature [[positional assembly]]. In the case of selfassembly the analog to converget assembly is called [[hierarchical selfassembly]] (historic reasons). Details on bootstrapping callenge on page: [[Positional assembly kinematic loop]] & also on page [[Introduction of total positional control]].
