She puts her elegant somethings together pretty quickly, proceeding easily from thing to thing according to the things preprogrammed into her brain. Every something begins with a single thing, which forms the basis of the rest of the thing. To establish this thing, she works towards a suitable anything (anywhere, for example) and releases a thing into the anything. With some luck, the thing will catch onto another thing. If she feels that the thing has caught onto something, she works up the thing and attaches the thing to the thing. She walks across the room, releasing a looser thing below the first one. She attaches her thing on both ends and works to its center. The looser thing sags downward, forming a thing. She lowers herself from this thing, to form everything. This forms the core thing of the something. As she walks along the things, she lays more things between various anythings. Then she starts laying out everything from the center of the thing to the other things. After building everything, she lays more things to form a thing, extending from the center of the something to the outer edge of the anything. She then spirals in on the something, laying out things and using anything as a reference. She eats up the thing as it lays out the thing, resulting in a something with things, for getting around, and a thing for things. She sits in the middle of her something, monitoring the things.
