# Universal Asset Management System
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
Build a system to optimally manage assets, taking into account energy transportation costs, time, distributed system of storage locations all across the Universe.
|
|
|
|
## Definitions
|
|
|
|
### Asset
|
|
|
|
Basically anything tangible-ish, on a physical level it's basically a collection of atoms, so the lowest-level physical assets are chemical compounds. Otherwise it can as big as "intergalactic spaceship".
|
|
|
|
Artificial scarcity can be coded too. But the top priority is management of physical assets.
|
|
|
|
### Storage
|
|
|
|
Any location where assets can be stored. With physical assets, there is obviously the maximum amount that can be stored.
|
|
|
|
Storage has a location in space. Unless it's virtual, of course.
|
|
|
|
### Carrier
|
|
|
|
An object that can move assets around between storages. Can be a delivery drone, human, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Use cases
|
|
|
|
### Assembling of high-level assets
|
|
|
|
Here the system would need to figure out the amount of each asset needed to build the high-level asset and do the optimization algorithms to find nearest storages holding needed assets. It had to optimize for time and energy costs.
|
|
|
|
### Transportation of assets to satisfy business objectives
|
|
|
|
More low-level algorithm, but basically the same.
