Some nanology principles CHISEL
I now propose to open a door on a possible nanology by exploring the grounds for my question in a wider conceptual context than fundamentality alone. What I propose, at this stage, is a sketch of the general programmatic framework for considering 'advanced technologies' such as nanotechnology, biotechnology genetic engineering and related technologies such as stem cell therapy. I shall begin with six principles criticality, holism, interaction, self-organization, emergence and long-termism. It...
