Facet Errors

In the kTAM, a facet error occurs on the edge of a growing assembly. Furthermore, this error occurs when a tile binds with insufficient strength for permanent attachment (but with no mismatches), and is locked into place by a subsequent tile addition (see figures below for an example).
A partial assembly which is error-free.
The binding of a tile via a single glue.
Before the erroneously attached tile can detach, another tile attaches with 2 matching bonds so that all tiles are now connected by two correctly formed bonds
