Fruit interior analogy

Just like fruit protect their interior by their skin, future products of atomically precise gemstone based metamaterial technology will likely do similar things. Possibly in a hierarchical fashion over several levels. A bit like many citrus fruit do on three levels. Side-note: This is a cut open quince. A very delicious fruit btw, though since it needs cooking to become soft it sadly became unpopular in the modern day and is not that often sold at convenience stores.

(wiki-TODO: Add an illustrative image of cut open browning fruit progress, and mabe a sketch of a crude conceptual sketch of a broken open gem based APM system.)

Just like fruits stay perfectly unoxidized inside (especially while still on the tree)
and only start oxidizing and degrading when cut open, advanced gemstone based nanosystems can do a similar thing.
Keeping all the ebvironmentally sensitive things well sealed inside.

Actually even more than that mesoscale compartmentalization could allow for breakage along intended cleavage planes
not exposing interior that is not stable to the environment.
Perhaps overstretchingly extending on the fruit analogy A bit more:
Like multiple seeds in an apple that themselves feature some sealing again.
