		Together, these parts form the essentials of a replicator: the tape supplies instructions for assembling a copy of the assembler, of the reader, of the other nanomachines, and of the tape itself.

		A fully novel replicator is, however, a fairly long-term goal.

		Similarly, a ton of replicators can swiftly build a ton of something else - and the product will have all its billions of billions of billions of atoms in the right place, with only a minute fraction misplaced.

		More modern references to this idea can also be seen in the TV show ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' with the race called [[Replicator (Stargate)Replicator]]s, in which self-replication is achieved and enhanced through absorption of raw materials and technology; this however follows the [[Grey goo]] scenario.

		Notice that biological terms have crept into this description: since the molecules replicate, the word "generation" seems right; molecules "descended" from a common "ancestor" are "relatives," and the words "growth," "reproduction," "mutation," and "competition" also seem right.
		To replicate successfully, the DNA of large organisms must do even more, directing the construction of tens of thousands of different protein machines and the development of complex tissues and organs.
		To ignore the selfishness of replicators is to be lulled by a dangerous illusion.

		Even pseudo 'clanking replicators', or Von Neumann machines or 'universal constructors', as they are sometimes called, would be a monumental step forward.

	Wikinfo \| Carbon chauvinism
		Another approach to alternative biochemistry is the idea that the basis of evolution need not be natural but could instead be deliberately created by an intelligent designer, opening up a wider range of possibilities.
		For example, it is possible in principle to construct a robot or a system of robots that is capable of replicating itself from raw ores and natural energy sources without any external direction or assistance (a "clanking replicator").
		Such a machine system could be considered alive, in that it is capable of evolution through mutational errors in its inherited design patterns, but is in no way required to be composed of carbon-based compounds.

		Nobody has ever built a Von Neumann replicator machine (which is basically what you're describing); it appears to be a horrendously difficult task.
		Something as close to atoms (in behaviour) as possible would be best, if we want our experience to generalize to molecular replicators.
		But basically, we should take whatever we can get to work: consider the amount of precision and force it takes to snap Legos together, or the complex operations needed to assemble an Erector set.
