I wonder whether sufficiently advanced critters could work with very
much smaller scales of matter, well beyond nanoscale? Perhaps the 3D
cartesian plane universe around them begins to look like it uses real
numbers rather than integers, and the second order infinity makes it
more appealing to stay home - whole universe in a grain of sand and
all that?

Hmm, magic physics, I'll gong myself out right here.
