Billy sorry about the slow answer. Ive been on the road a lot
this summer and just now found this in my unanswered inbox.
The Star Wars movie got me to thinking that strong nanotech
could result in a device that is kinda analogous to a neuron, except
much smaller. I imagined that a number of them could interconnect
themselves with carbon nanotubes, thereby forming a webby
cocoon around a mitochondrion, living on a small amount of
excess ATP. If each of these nanoneurons and its interconnection
were made of, say sixty thousand carbon atoms, and there were a
billion of them on the surface of a mitochondrion, the mitochondrion
would never know they were there. The combined mass
