The nanomeds are essentially little molecular machines that remain inert in the body until we activate them with a burst of gamma radiation. Then they instantly go to work repairing tissues, by breaking down damaged cells, and by forging healthy cells to replicate. The problem we've been having involves managing the energy flux created by such rapid cellular activity and buildup of waste products from the dismantled cells. Which have so far led to catastrophic results. In our next round of experiments, we'll be damaging the cells with drastically higher doses of gamma radiation, resulting in more uniform trauma. We hope in this way to better contain their destructive potential.

Each time a human cell replicates, it loses a loses a little more DNA from the end of its chromosome. Eventually it loses so much that it forgets its function. Its ability to cope with trauma and its ability to reproduce. Whereas life is the ability to both retrieve and act on memory. What makes the nanomeds so extraordinary is that they are life unbound. Part of life is death, forgetting and unchecked, mutations. The nanomeds remember their instructions to well. Basically to stay alive we must forget as much as we remember.
