Free Portable — Interstellar

[ N(t) = \fracK N_0 e^(r-\mu)tK + N_0(e^(r-\mu)t - 1) ]

For realistic ISM densities (( \sim 10^6 ) H atoms/m³), ( r \approx 0.02 ) probes/year per seed. Within 10,000 years, IF could saturate the Galactic disk. IF raises a critical ethical question: Do we have the right to seed other star systems with autonomous replicators? interstellar free

Interstellar Free inverts this logic. Instead of sending a single expensive asset, we propose sending thousands of gram-scale “seed” spacecraft. Each seed contains a compressed universal constructor: AI firmware, a 3D-printer of nanomolecular components, and a basic metabolism for harvesting energy and matter from diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) or protoplanetary disks.
