(under subclass 800) Process of (a) placing an article in, (b) shifting an article relative to an article within, or (c) removing an article from a particular location in an assemblage of a contacting article formed or taken apart at a site, wherein (1) each article of the assemblage must at least partially sustain, or must be at least partially sustained by, an adjacent article of the assemblage for a portion of the time the articles are in contact with each other, and (2) the complete assemblage is (i) capable of maintaining its shape without support in the horizontal direction on the articles from external confining structure (e.g., receptacle walls, inclined shelf), (ii) transportable as a unit from a site and composed of plural articles located within at least two layers forming the assemblage, or (iii) entirely composed of articles which would each be unsteady or relatively unsteady (i.e., the articles have a more stable attitude), if placed by themselves in the particular predetermined location in which the articles are at least partially held by the sustaining force exerted thereon by an adjacent article.
