David8's Would-be Brothers--(the recursive God theory)

I'm bouncing back here to continue with some of the ideas raised by nanocloud terraforming. In essence, I'm theorizing that Weyland's considered interest in this project is to see if his creation experiment is a success. In this theory, David8 is the prototype and model for what is hoped to be formed by WY's nanoreplicators. Weyland is hoping to populate the planet with his creation by means of nanobot engineers--THE engineers. Somewhere in that plan, the nanobuilders had to adapt, skewed the plan, and instead of creating replicas of David8, they created something else--call it the distant cousins of David8, or even his brothers. Consider then, how this might link the two. Two forms of biomachine that share so much, but perhaps differ in very important ways. One, raised by humans to think in human terms. The other, raised as machine, and notably lacking the one thing that David8 has acquired in this regard--compassion. As the star children, maybe they view Earth as their birthright. That's half formed, but a lot of it fits in my mind. Notably, the nanotech angle that is right there, but keeps getting pushed aside for other ideas. [b]"Big things have small beginnings."[/b] "A king has his reign, and then he dies..." king=humans. Fairly obvious, but further clue into the central theme of this film. I'm going to continue with my hypothesis that they are telling a recursive story. The human face object is essentially a statue of the nanocreature God---us---what they were meant to be. We search for our beginnings, they search for theirs.
