Gregory's Server/ The idea originally came from a discussion with Voidshaper, many years ago. I always liked the idea of a machine that undoes itself perfectly.

@neauoire Exhume your reasons for finding it interesting to render the essence and all its forms ~ Hm could it be to do with recyclability. A machine that dissassembles itself is guaranteed 100% recyclable, and this is also a rare and special quality for any object to have, and it's equivalent to the ability to losslessly transform  @faun yeah, it's rare that I hear about things that don't leave a trace I suppose. In a way, it's easy to make things that last, it's hard to make things ephemeral.  @neauoire it's got me curious as to whether that's possible. I suppose it depends on what "undoes itself" and "perfectly" mean A machine that allows its own undoing seems more in line with the naturally occurring. Our body decomposes once our systems stop resisting the entropy of hungry microbes and fungus @dualhammers I'm not sure, perfectly could mean return the metal of the brass bolts back to the earth, in this case it's limited to going back in the box. I think going back to the box should be possible 🤔 |
@neauoire domino machines -- machines responsible for their own disassembly! love this.
