Reliable Self-Replication
Scientific breakthroughs for Nano-Assembly
5. Self-Replication and Scaling Mechanisms
To build something as large as Starship, nanobots must multiply exponentially.
- Reliable Self-Replication: Create nanobots that copy themselves with near-zero error rates. Biology does this via DNA; MNT needs synthetic equivalents. Breakthrough: Programmable replicators with built-in fidelity checks, using mechanosynthesis to assemble copies from feedstock, scaling from micrograms to tons without mutations.
