Using First Principles Thinking to derive build procedures from existing CAD design files.

There are many things that are already implicit in building:

  1. Materials are used
  2. Fasteners are used
  3. Existing build techniques and designs
  4. OSE-specific techniques and designs - which are simpler due to Degeneracy
  5. Machines, materials, and tools - and properties of each
  6. Building codes which specify design features but no so much build procedures

The critical element of interest is detailed procedural information - which enable any novice to approach the build speed of professionals with only a bit of practice. In fact, an instructional/blueprint enabled novice can easily outperform a 'seasoned professional' without such build procedures - who would need to spend time deriving their own procedures. This is how it is normally done, and works well for obvious design - but fails at anything more complex where thinking is required.

It turns out that any novice can generate such build information with AI assist. Here's how - [1]

Bottom line: once we deconstruct the build process to simple elements, we can derive accurate procedures, and use a number of such instances to train AI to come up with a robust, generalized schema for producing instructionals automatically for any new instance, provided that CAD is available for what we want to build
