Hinged blockchain self folding

• A linear chain of blocks. (possibly foldamer bricks or other self-assemblies)
• Each block having reasonably high symmetry.
• Blocks are linked together on edges to form a series of hinges.

---

• the chain shall fold to a final desired shape a bit akin to protein folding but more constrained an predictable
• driving force for the folding may be thermally driven selfassembly or larger scale forces like electrostatics
• assembly process may or may not be reversible (a structure stiffening post assembly interlinking may be desirable)
• Pre-prodction of the blocks and the unfolded blockchain may be done though self assembly and or positional assembly
