"We don't know the minimum size for a seed. It needs a lot of
data and
the ability to operate in space, which requires lots of
propellant. And your
redundancy is heavily limited if (as I calculated) launches
require billions
of solar energy equivalents.

Could the seed be a little baby nano-ramscoop which grows into a bigger
nano-ramscoop containing the core-seed?
