\section{Definitions}

\begin{description}
\item[ Assembly Method ] The degree, on a scale from 0 to 1, to which the assembly is top-down, as opposed to bottom-up. [0..1]
\item[ Assembly Precision ] The degree, on a scale from 0 to 1, to which the assembly is deterministic, as opposed to random. [0..1]
\item[ Bio-Integration Index ] The degree, on a scale from 0 to 1, to which the product interacts with carbon-based life. [0..1]
\item[ Functional Complexity ] The amount of entropy, in eu (4.184 J/K-mol), per second leaving a system. [0..$\infty$)
\item[ Inter-Systemic Forces ] The number of significant forces which have effects which extend beyond the system. [0..$\infty$)
\item[ Macro-Dimensions ] The number of required dimensions which are larger than 50nm. [0..$\infty$)
\item[ Nano-Dimensions ] The number of controlled dimensions which are 50nm or smaller. [0..$\infty$)
\item[ Organic Composition ] The degree, on a scale from 0 to 1, to which the product is organic, as opposed to inorganic. [0..1]
\end{description}

\section{Evaluations}

\subsection{Nano-Technitude}
\subsubsection{Order of Importance}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Nano-Dimensions (N) - What is it?
\item Macro-Dimensions (M) - What limitations does it have?
\item Inter-Systemic Forces (F) - How does it work?
\item Assembly Method (A) - How is it made?
\item Assembly Precision (P) - How well is it made?
\end{enumerate}
\subsubsection{Approximation Function}
Result := (N + F)/(M + 1) + P/(A + 1)

\subsection{Danger Metric}
\subsubsection{Order of Importance}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Bio-Integration Index (B) - How can it affect me?
\item Assembly Method (A) - How quickly can it go wrong (linear vs. exponential)?
\item Functional Complexity (C) - How much does it do?
\item Inter-Systemic Forces (F) - How much can it do?
\item Assembly Precision (P) - How much does it degrades per generation?
\item Organic Composition (O) - How much is it likely to infringe upon our resources?
\item Macro-Dimensions (M) - How much infrastructure does it require?
\end{enumerate}
\subsubsection{Approximation Function}
Result := B * ((C + F)$^{A}$)/(P + 1) + (O + B)/(M + 1)
