That means it's capable of self replication, isn't it?
The goal? Linear propagator.
The challenge? This is the construction arm:

Alright, on with the basics:
Here's a stamp collection of the tightest optimizations I could get out of the most elementary logic gates:
- Diode
- XOR
- ANDNOT
- Crossings
as well as some insights I got about timing circuitry:

Unfortunately, this makes the DNA the really inefficient sort of rocket fuel for us.
The amount of time required to construct an object is at best O(f^3 * w) where d is proportional to the forward length of the object and w is its width. It's very much infeasible to even attempt building a loop that quickly. We'll have to use computation. (EDIT: incorrect, there are ways™)
For a tape-based universal constructor:
There will be 2 timers: One to select the Y-axis and one for the X-axis.
If X is timed late, it will send a normal "extend" signal. If it's timed perfectly, it becomes a "place" signal instead.
The timing must be digitally adjustable down to 2-tick precision on either axis.
My main idea for this is to have this setup:
Computer -> Micro-Delayer (can delay any even number between 0 to 62 ticks) -> 64-tick clock -> binary counters -> send signal, deactivate clock
This allows for an O(log N) amount of memory needed to construct something of width N.
Here are the missing components:
* Delayer
* Micro delayer
* Demux+crossover combo (assembling required)
* Clock /
* Binary Counter /
* Computer
* Architecture: 2 instruction set computer, Subtract/Jump for simplicity. hopefully 16-bit: 1 bit opcode, 15 bit address
* RAM
* Binary registers
* Mux/Demux
* Adder/Subtractor (note that I plan on the CPU only using subtraction)
* Memory Map a register to the construction command
