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.
