	1) The core idea that even when one can [[mechanosynthesis\|mechanosynthesize]] almost nothing (just a few simple [[diamondoid compound\|base materials]]) one can make almost anything by mechanical emulation. '''Mechanical metamaterials'''. "gum" is just a shorthand for a concrete example of such a [[metamaterial]] that rhymes on "gem" which makes memorization a lot easier. Also it's an concrete example that's rather un-intuitive. Rubber made from gemstone. Which could ~~peak~~ interest (click-bait effect).		1) The core idea that even when one can [[mechanosynthesis\|mechanosynthesize]] almost nothing (just a few simple [[diamondoid compound\|base materials]]) one can make almost anything by mechanical emulation.

Also it's a concrete example that's rather un-intuitive. Rubber made from gemstone. Which could pique interest (click-bait effect).

	2) The core idea that gradually increasing the [[stiffness]] of [[diamondoid compound\|the materials one builds with]] is the ultimate key to advanced [[mechanosynthesis]]. The term "gem" (short for gemstone - obviously) points exclusively to the stiff base materials of the far term target technology. This explicitly excludes early stage atomically precise manufacturing such as "[[structural DNA nanotechnology]]" which has no [[positional atomic precision]] and would be mushed in with other terms.		2) The core idea that gradually increasing the [[stiffness]] of [[diamondoid compound\|the materials one builds with]] is the ultimate key to advanced [[mechanosynthesis]].
