What about “microtechnology”? These would be self assembly machines made of bigger parts, similar to the actuators in a DLP chip. Or “hybrid microtechnology”, where some other process using a catalyst has made subunits large enough to be manipulated by these “micro-scale” robotics.
Wouldn’t “hybrid microtechnology” have precisely the same real world consequences (self replication) that the nanoscale machinery you object to?
