nom the puppetWed, Mar 4, 2009 sounds possible, but in the way you're describing it as making solid objects "fit" each other, it would be very difficult. Have you read about foglets? It might just be more practical to build nanotech bodies programmable to disassemble and reassemble themselves coupled with porous architecture for one to move through or simply a ubiquitous utility fog. You would start walking towards the wall, you give instructions to your fog body to move through the wall, your body disassembles in one room while being reassembled in the next by the floating nanomachines in the air. Same result, less hassle.
