Damn! Next let’s see you handle informatics fam (Nano-informatics) 1-0 the structure of a cache or RAM Switches are the way to data save and plan (flip it on) Flip it chemically Photochemically Or electrically Add a flippable knee (then what?) Make a little more deep The decisional tree (data) If you need a calculator how be Logic gates, like “a, not b“ Input’s a cation, as key (that’s key) And you get a photon as a reading So plan your nanobot To be in part an info scanner nanobot Reading and writing coded data that allot Freedom to do as you program it A Turing automatic Full gamut nanobot Doesn’t that look life-like? (x3) (Break me down I am) A metananobot The muse and model of synthetic nanobots Working in concert as a replicable lot For all I try to be more than it Though sentient and organic I am a nanobot
