The Core Approach to Cloning

This section will try to answer the following important question for the design of the artificial SSR What is the core mechanism that the artificial SSR will use to accurately clone all of its elements  

Below are two possible answers, and it is likely that most any other imagined answers would be similar or equivalent to one of the two answers below  

Use an exhaustive descriptive, operational and constructional SSR information database directing an integrated set of specialized software and computer-controlled automatons, in other words, have sufficient data stored about the makeup of the SSR itself to generate a new copy from that data. 

1 Why the universal physical copy machine approach is not adequate 

This approach assumes that the SSR contains a sophisticated machine that can examine and accurately copy all other pieces and machinery comprising the mature SSR. This implies that this universal physical copy machine can even copy itself or, more realistically, make a copy of a copy of itself. In other words, the SSR contains two universal physical copy machines. One, Machine A, is performing the actual copying of all SSR machinery and the other rmiversal physical copy machine. Machine B. So the second copy machine. Machine B, is only used as a model for the first Machine A. The goal for this solution is to use these copy machines A and B to alleviate the need to store as much information about the SSR itself, to have as much software, and to contain as much computer-controlled machinery as in the second approach. This first solution leads to the following conclusions
