Inspired by xenobots-- constructed of frog cells, computational organisms. Machines made of silicon with proto-cognitive capabilities.

How might these nano-organisms "think" differently -- think alongside our own wetware, differently? And what role does anthropomorphism have in our ability to conceive of such inventions?

.modelled in VR, converting to AR prototype for a physical build soon
