It would not make serial processing impossible. And nothing I said suggested any specifically necessary or unnecessary context. Any such condition, if it existed, and it certainly could, would prevent serial processing. That’s a very flat world way of thinking about such things.
The whole point of and meaning ultimately of “automation” is serial processing and increasing efficiency. All kinds of processes that are complex and for which early simple minds had no conception of serial processing have been automated in such fashion and this will likely be as well. But at the moment, it is likely too complex and not necessary to get the initial scale that they need. However, I doubt very much the limitations people calculate here based on publicly available information and speculation is, in fact, a true upward limit. The whole point of putting processes inside of small, contained packages is, ultimately, serial processing. Initially it is simplest by machine. Ultimately, that won’t likely last as the upward limit because that is not real manufacturing technology, at its upward limit and the process innovation by itself suggests that they know that as well.
I expect someone told the first inventor of vacuum tubes that they might be able to fit more of them together somehow, the person might have said, that's impossible. Or after the first transistors were built, someone said, putting multiple transistors into a smaller space would be impossible, because x, y and z. But anyone with any sense of technology today knows where those inventions inevitably led. Today there is an obviousness about technologies and putting a process like this into a "cartridge" screams serial processing. Right now it is PER MACHINE. Whether the people move, or the cartridges move, ultimately, or the cartridges move sideways or up and down, it makes no difference. The invention obviates serial processing because that is where efficiency will be gained and that is how technologies like this evolve. End of story.
