Everything Dust[1] (or eDust[2]) is a swarm of micromachines that behaves as a single entity.[1]
The swarm is composed of micromachines of different sizes and functions. The micromachines are typically no larger than a tenth of millimetre long. An eDust entity may be sapient and change physical configuration at will.[1]
An eDust assassin was a sapient Culture terror weapon.[3] It could be equipped with lasers, effectors, laser reflectors, and nanomissiles.[4]
