Universal Joint
A joint is necessary that share interconnecting power, ground and signal routing that is strong with 2 parts up to 6 parts all linked in each of the 6 degrees of freedom.
The joint must link, lock, unlock and unlink easily without seizing. The link, lock, etc of one joint must be independent and not require the primary shaft to rotate, compress, extend in any way since it may already be linked and under torsion, tension or compression itself.( or an applied angular component of the former, with its length as a lever.)
Buildings of Pods
External frame and internal pods must be modular and structurally sound with just 2 parts connected.
Medical
Equipment and rooms can be shifted into position as necessary. They can come to you in pods.
Business
The offices and even conference rooms can be shifted into place. Since the joint can hold with 2 to 6 parts linked, walls can be dropped out or folded down without the loss of structure.
