	Exponential assembly is a method of structural copying with exponential speedup that forms an alternative to full [[self replication]] for bootstrapping and scaling up atomically precise fabrication capabilities to macroscopic volumes. Do not ~~confuse it~~ with [[convergent assembly]].		Exponential assembly is a method of structural copying with exponential speedup that forms an alternative to full [[self replication]] for bootstrapping and scaling up atomically precise fabrication capabilities to macroscopic volumes.

			Exponential assembly must not to be confused with [[convergent assembly]].

			== Defining traits ==

	~~It has the following defining traits:~~
	* The un-assembled robotic units must be massively parallel pre-produced without self replication. (photo lithograpy / self assembly)		* The un-assembled robotic units must be massively parallel pre-produced without self replication. (photo lithograpy / self assembly)

	To attain [[technology level I]] such systems could be used to assemble smaller systems of the same ''exponential assembly design'' but possibly (and probably) of very different structure.
