* On the other hand, explored matter and stored energy can be used to create any product on a planet's surface. Those "grown on demand" products can be anything as along as a control node was formed and accessible to an human operator which has a connection to a molecular construction database. | * On the other hand, explored matter and stored energy can be used to create any product on a planet's surface.

* How could Daodan and Bioc merge? Probably by overlapping structures that process information. -- Human mind and the Daodan can interact because the Daodan also has processing organelles inside neurons. Now the bioc, as a third player, could join the party when it invades the brain. Would the Daodan be a [http://phys.org/news/2013-09-hardware-trojans-undetectable.html hardware trojan] to the bioc, or the bioc to the Daodan, or both to each other? In an uncontrolled interaction, the functions of any entity could run amok; for the human, it will mean extreme pain (the bioc invasion alone will stress/destroy a lot of nerves). In the case of Daya, it's one reason why she continues to take drugs of all sorts. | * How could Daodan and Bioc merge?

Actually "earthbound" printing would be much easier, but maybe there are conditions (a gas planet?) that justify airborne printing. At least it would be fun and epic... | Actually "earthbound" printing would be much easier, but maybe there are conditions (a gas planet?) that justify airborne printing.

In the manga Blame you can see characters pop into existence, somehow simply growing. In Oni, similar can be achieved by molecular printing. A Gaia and | In the manga Blame you can see characters pop into existence, somehow simply growing. In Oni, similar can be achieved by molecular printing. A Gaia and [[wikipedia:Aether_(mythology)|Aether]] environment isn't absolute necessary but very helpful. At the scene, molecular machines - invisible to the human eye - carry out the construction. Airborne particles have a less density than in liquids or solid aggregates, so in order to speed up the process, strong air streams are forced towards the construction core. The sky will overcloud and even a controlled tornado can emerge. | ||
The heat sources or magnetic fields would determine the motion of the wind. Inverse tornado wouldn't lift the entity to build. | The heat sources or magnetic fields would determine the motion of the wind. Inverse tornado wouldn't lift the entity to build. | ||
