I'd call this superscience nanotech in GURPS terms... GURPS assumes rather high levels to anything that can change shape, form, or function. Some sci-fiction and even some nanotech researchers think this is right around the corner for us instead. Eclipse Phase assumes it's right around the corner, if it is then to GURPS it's superscience rather than an assumption TL12 (and no limits) are around the corner...

Uplift is in GURPS: Biotech. It's as early as TL9.

Most tech in Eclipse Phase is more TL 9-10... so hence what I said earlier...
