Integration of photocaged fuels and photocaged building blocks with wavelength‐selective activation. a) Schematic illustration of wavelength‐orthogonal control of system complexity. The first irradiation at 420 nm activates DEACM‐ATP to fuel self‐sorting of the multicomponent system into DySS short oligomers (from M5 and M6) and static long DNA polymers (from M7), and the following irradiation at 365 nm activates the static DNA polymers and thus promotes the dynamic chain shuffling between the sorted structures. b) Multicolor AGE analysis of orthogonal light‐controlled structure development of multicomponent self‐sorting non‐equilibrium systems (2 wt. % agarose gel, 90 V, 2.5 h).
