Thing is nanomachines?

I have been watching The thing theories on youtube so I have a theory, maybe thing is not made from cells but nanomachines that imitate cells. That would explain the fast transformations and how a fake cell is both a real imitated cell and a thing cell at the same time. In this way the cell construct would be a front while nanomachnines project biomaterial.

Nanomachines is a good comparison, but I don't think it's a machine. An organic version of a nanomachine, sure. That's the closest comparison. But an actual machine? No evidence imo.

It is just a theory because normal cells take time to replicate, at least 20 min and the thing does it instantly. It must do it on a subcellular lvl

Wolverine replicates himself at an unnatural rate and it's all biological.

I do like that theory. Almost like a bio-weapon gone wrong.
