A cuboid boy with dimensions X>Y>Z can be oriented such that 
an incrementally built copy of that box with same dimensions can be extruded out. 
This is done by extruding the smallest Y*Z face through the biggest face X*Y rotatedly such that
* Y and X lines up (with Y<X)
* Z and Y lines up (with Z<Y)

Note that this works for all size scales!

== Smallest scales ==

It was initially a concept for ultra compact self replication in 
the now outdated concept of [[molecular assemblers]].

== Bigger scales ==

It is a natural way to do macroscale self-replication of [[gem-gum factories]] such 
that there is no need to resort to complex schemes for folding and unfolding of nanofactories.

As for now it is rather unclear how big of a fraction of a nanofactory chip will be necessary 
for full self replicative capability. How big a [[self replicative nanofactory pixel]] will be.
