Thanks, Henry. I'll try to stay out of the chemical metaphors as this gets closer to becoming real. The general problem is that my atoms may look like molecules to someone else, and I really don't want to get into protons, neutrons, quarks... I'm thinking something like fragments, which may then have fragments, etc. Stays out of the metaphorical zone.
