This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

The four sides of the immobile self-replication square

There are four necessary requirements on selfreplicativity for a gemstone metamaterial on-chip factory.

Needed are:

  • replication capability
  • building block availability
  • energy supply
  • blueprint data mobility (a mere digital access to a central copy is sufficient, some redundancy is advisable though for resiliency)

Not needed are:

  • replicator mobility -- needed for the (outdated) molecular assembler concept
  • sufficient adaptivity -- needed only by biological life

Blueprint data mobility

A note on "blueprint data mobility":
The biological example of DNA with a full nanomechanically encoded datastorage copy in
every single cell is ridiculously inefficient and nothing we would want to mimic in artificial systems for manufacturing.
