It is entirely possible that the nano scale level is where one would start to build a device such as the "Dragonfly Drone". Such a level of construction would afford strength and fine maneuvering of the precision of the design. The LAP Glypths might then be the very method of programing and self programing that orders and controls construction and eventual function of the device.
