			* [[Digital control over reversibly composable units of matter]]

			=== Far term base materials ===

			* [[Diamondoid]], [[Gemstone-like compound]], [[Base materials with high potential]]
			* NOT: [[Pure metals and metal alloys]]

			Above the base materials there are '''[[Gemstone based metamaterial]]s''' that allow <br>
			to attain lots of emulatable material properties even with just a few high performance base materials. <br>

			=== Low level gemstone structure ===

			* [[Low level gemstone metamaterial]]
			* [[Neo-polymorph]] & [[Pseudo phase diagram]]
			These are not solid solution [[thermodynamic nanocrystal]]s of a mixing series with statistic distributions made by [[thermodynamic means]]. <br>
			These are rather deterministically patterned only kinetically not thermodynamically stable [[Checkerboard compound]]s made by [[force applying mechanosynthesis]].

			=== Gemstone based metamaterials ===

			* '''[[Gemstone based metamaterial]]''' ([[Mechanical metamaterial]], [[Metamaterial]])
			* [[Gem-gum]]
			* [[Display pixels to gem-gum voxels analogy]]
			----
			'''Some examples:''' <br>
			* [[Emulated elasticity]]
			* [[Motor muscle]]s
			* [[Infinitesimalbearing]]s
			* [[Chemomechnaical converter]] & [[Entropomechanical converter]] metamaterials. ([[Energy conversion]])

			=== High level homogeneous structure ===

			'''[[Cellular shape shifting tangible systems]]''' … as sort of high level (mechanical) metamaterials.

			Here often this gives generality at the cost of performance and/or efficiency. <br>

			Convenient for black box unspecified magic in fiction writings. Think "Computronium", "Whatevertronium" <br>
			Most systems will turn out more varied an specialized across the size scales. <br>
			The most prototypical example here is probably [[utility fog]]. <br>

			Related pages:
			* [[Levels of metamaterials]]
			* [[Likely visual appearance of gem-gum products]]
