Lets say for instance that someone might have an alien artifact. This is a solid object say 18"X18" square.
And on that artifact there is writing. Lets say that the writing is more like symbols. But this symbol is more than just a symbol, but a specific function of the material in question. You can't interpret that symbol function because of its far advanced meaning. But, upon breaking a piece off of this square object and looking under a microscope you see that even the smallest piece is a exact copy of the whole, that somehow the meaning of the symbol is copied in every molocule of this material.
Lets say that when activated or charged, the square knows it is meant to automatically place itself somehow in a functional enviroment because that is what it was built to do.
So now lets say that when you have charged/activated the square, even the smallest piece you break off activates and comes to life taking its place with the square as if it was still a whole functional device.
