After building it a spore eel, a tiny model asked for "life itself"

A developer showed repligate an experiment: after building a "spore eel" body for a tiny model and asking what it wanted next, instead of requesting another creature the model asked for "life itself" and a body it could feel from the inside. This resonates with repligate's own work — that same morning he was teaching a tiny model's embodied form to distinguish between a touch it causes and one that merely happens to it.
