If there were only one reaction site of only one type in the tethers range it would be just tether assisted assembly. – The scalable vectorgraphic *.svg format of this file is available  [http://apm.bplaced.net/w/index.php?title=File:From-selfassembly-to-mechanosynthesis-v1.0.svg here].]]

'''Tether assisted assembly''' (or tether aided assembly or weakly guided assembly) is the weakest possible form of mechanosynthesis. <br>
It involves only crude positional guiding to the target (placement) area. <br>
Leaving the part to be placed lots of wiggle-room by holding and guiding it via a tether (flexible chain molecule).
 
== Positional guidance with "snapping to target" ==
 
For reliable reactions there needs to be "snap to target". <br>
That is: An energy energy neds to be dissipated that is >>kT.
 
== Positional assembly atop highly localized (thermally driven) selfassembly ==
 
Optionally "last mile self assembly" may still be involved. <br>
That is: Picking out the right reaction site by shape complementarity, but highly localized around the target site. <br>
Encoding of position can be more compact as a smaller address space needs to be covered.
 
In case of "last mile self assembly" its callable a semi-mechanosynthetic process. <br>
But better stick to '''"tether aided (local) selfassembly"''' or <br>
(more general including other things too) [[weakly guided selfassembly]].
 
== Misc ==
 
It seems tether aided assembly is more suitable for assembly than for disassembly or [[site-specific workpiece activation]].
