And will become so pervasive it will be taken for granted

The Winter Online Lecture: Taste Buds #FoodLies From Cara St. Louis Creation – The Fae midwifed Gifts from the Constellations which blanketed this realm. Moving from one dimension to another was as easy as the sense of self-movement.  Our Singing Mechanism was meant for manifestation only.  Vile creatures, longing to usurp our place in the Great Universal Library, identified substances that would harness us to the earth in superficial ways…ways which were never meant to be.  These Addictions changed our physiology, altered our Tool.  Eventually, the Seven Celestial Organs we used to manifest were polluted, mangled or ripped out entirely. Then Science was created as a machine to try to manufacture supporting ‘evidence’ for what had been done.  The whole damned thing was reversed, always the case in evil deeds.  Even our alchemical abilities were buried under the false alchemy of food. Join me on Saturday February 16th, for an ONLINE two-hour lecture accompanying the release of The Great Food Con: AKA Tastebuds.

This (unnamed) designer believes that this particular technology will come about after advancements in programmable matter.

At small scales, shape-programmable magnetic materials have significant potential to achieve mechanical functionalities that are unattainable by traditional miniature machines. Unfortunately, these materials have only been programmed for a small number of specific applications, as previous work can only rely on human intuition to approximate the required magnetization profile and actuating magnetic fields for such materials. Here, we propose a universal programming methodology that can automatically generate the desired magnetization profile and actuating fields for soft materials to achieve new time-varying shapes. The proposed method can enable other researchers to fully capitalize the potential of shape-programming technologies, allowing them to create a wide range of novel soft active surfaces and devices that are critical in robotics, material science, and medicine.

Researchers have engineered tiny gold particles that can assemble into a variety of crystalline structures simply by adding a bit of DNA to the solution that surrounds them. Down the road, such reprogrammable particles could be used to make materials that reshape themselves in response to light, or to create novel catalysts that reshape themselves as reactions proceed.
