Is there some sort of subculture of the maker movement that focuses on building stuff mainly from scavenged and jury-rigged parts, with minimal purchase of new parts? Any good examples or sites or subreddits? Cc @starsandrobots @NickPinkston @niftynei @theartlav

This is the simplest sort of homogeneous case. Ramsey theory covers a lot of such "structure appearing out of disorder via enabling conditions" questions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey_theory …

Heteregenous case: how many randomly broken bits of junk from from a particular subset of the economic production web do you need to assemble an arbitrary design in the combinatorial space. Eg... a 6-wheel vehicle with a snowplow attached?

I'm interested in synthesis side... what *can* you realize within the design space induced by the parts universe of a junkyard? Sort of like the Boydian snowmobile question (snowmobile = skis + motorcycle parts). How quickly does the expressivity of a junkspace increase with n?

willing to bet for a given model there is going to be one part that breaks more often than all the rest

Reminds me of shopping for an old-fashioned phone back in the early 2000's I thought I had found it, a heavy Princess phone. Not the model I wanted, but seemed nicely mechanical & robust from what I could tell. But that was a lie. A circuit board & a lead weight. That was it.

It typically takes 4-5 borked up aeron chairs to frankenstien a new one. The plus side is you will still have parts left over for other frankenmodels. Kinda why people just have me build new onespic.twitter.com/RYcaWpye9B
