Main topics
Pathways …
… towards advanced gemstone based productive nanosystems.
★ Generally:
– Spectrum of pathways
– Bootstrapping methods for productive nanosystems
– Bridging the gaps
★ Incremental path
– Central method: Thermally driven self assembly (Self-assembly in general is actually even more broad than that.)
– One big if not biggest blocker: Lack of proper termination control (one option: Algorithmic selfassembly)
– Escaping the window between:
… Positional assembly redundancy blockade &
… Thermal driven selfassembly diffusion speed slowdown blockade
… (Wild ideas: Circumsembly & Squigglesembly)
– Expanding the kinematic loop in order to escape the finger problems
– Hierarchical selfassembly
★ Direct path
– Why force applying mechanosynthesis should work in brief
– Early diamondoid nanosystem pixel (direct path)
… Potential early crystolecular building blocks & Potential early crystolecular mechanisms
– Convergent assembly & Sequence of zones
There were/are some tensions between the sides. For one case see: Pathway controversy
(2026) Not yet meaningfully experimentally accessible: Mixed path
★ Mixed path (Inter technology binding)
Far term target of APM
… as identified in Nanosystems via applying the methodology of exploratory engineering.
★ Why gemstones?
– Oxidation and the fruit analogy; Atomically precise surface passivation
– Undesired cold-welding vs desired: Seamless covalent welding
– Averting room temperature surface diffusion on metals. (See also: Diffusion)
★ Why (mechanical) metamaterials?
– Gem-gum Superelasticity (wiki-TODO: Add two new graphics on that.)
★ Why cogs-n-gears?
– They get the job done and are not a naive transfer of ideas on closer inspection.
🪤 Trapdoors
★ 🪤 "Diffusion transport is free." (Friction in diffusion transport)
– No, Diffusion transport is not free. One has to pay the energy at toll stations that may have no "small change" to give back.
… Heck cog-n-gear attachment chain trannsport may become even become more efficient than diffusion when advanced and operated sowly:
… See: Dissipation sharing & Exothermy offloading (in how far these tricks work is highly speculative)
★ 🪤 "Scaling laws make things worse."
– Yes, physics change when going down to the nanoscale, BUT …
– No, not necesarily for the worse for macroscale style cog-n-gear machinery
– The are two critical scaling laws that make things better rather than worse. Both as of 2026 still barely known.
… See below in section: Physical basics
★ 🪤 "Simulations show that these would not work."
– "No, nanodiamond does not behave like jelly."
– "No, one would not "see" the atomic wiggles when "seeing" the machine motions at proposed operation speeds."
… See: Misleading aspects in animations of diamondoid molecular machine elements
… See: Why MD simulations can't simulate proposed speeds for diamondoid nanomachinery
★ 🪤 "Scaling laws make things worse"
★ … See: Macroscale style machinery at the nanoscale
★ Two overcompensating scaling laws that make things better:
– Higher throughput of smaller machinery
– Same relative deflections across scales
… See: How macroscale style machinery at the nanoscale outperforms its native scale
★ 🪤 Quantum mechanical effects in nanomechanics are sometimes hugely overestimated
… See: Nanomechanics is barely mechanical quantummechanics
Scale transposed prototyping
Prototyping cog-n-gear mechanisms at the macroscale for the nanoscale staying aware of the physical changes.
★ Personal projects of this wikis author:
– RepRec pick-and-place robots (GemGum)
– ReChain frame systems (ReChain pages)
– MecCirc project
– ReMec projects (umbrella name for the above)
★ Main Inspirations:
– Moses2014
– Ambots
Physical basics
… and building some useful intuition (oversimplification aware).
General physics based intuition / understanding / feel

★ Intuitively understanding the size of an atom & Magnification theme-park
★ Convenience of size steps of factor 32

… (Lagrangian mechanics for nanomechanical circuits & Tracing trajectories of component in machine phase)
General nanoscale physics
★ Atomic orbitals (wiki-TODO: d and f orbitals mixing math and geometries)

APM specific physics
★ Force applying mechanosynthesis
★ (Wearless) friction & energy dissipation:

Meta
- Goals of this wiki – A lot! … (Didactic approach & Target audience)
- Impressum of this wiki and it's author.
- Stance on AI use for this wiki – (I guess now needed as of 2026.)
- Value in and management of contradictions
- General tips for productive communication
- On the introduction of new terminology in this wiki: Neologism
In short: As few as possible and when really necessary then pick smartly looking at several concrete aspects. - The authors struggles with software from the perspective of this wiki.
- Philosophical topics … Embarrassing half inconsistent nonsense. Don't take any of this too seriously.
- Intentionally hidden fun stuff that you'll need to find yourself 😉.
