Crystolecular base metamaterials may be mobile and deforming (like e.g. shearing in infinitesimal bearing metamaterials and muscle motor meteamaterials) requiring alignment to registry and locking into machine phase before disassembly (of assembly).
2D pixels making any sort of color with just 3 colors form a nice analogy to
3D voxels forming any sort of mechanical (and other) material properties
by usage of just a handful of high performance base materials.
Out of abundantly available chemical elements.

Metamaterial examples
- Infinitesimal bearings
- Motor muscles
- Emulated elasticity but more specialized and higher performance than general purpouse utility fog or clatronics which are supposed to use active microscale micro-bots not nano-bots(!). Many metamaterials would already be homogeneous at the microscale and only granular further down at the nanoscale.
- Energy conversion metamaterials (e.g. Chemomechanical energy conversion -- zipping covalent bonds open and closed)
- Energy storage metamaterials (incuding entopic ones that cool down when damaged rather than burn and or explode
