It could have been... he'll call it "nanotech", even though he suspects it's more likely something unrecognizable enough to call "magic". But calling things "magic"... he doesn't like how that sounds. It appears to work with false ontological primitives, but...
But it could just be that her "nanotech" knows a pattern for peanuts and papayas, and can reshape things into those known configurations. Just... reshaping organic material on the molecular level.
...he hands her back the papayapple. They're going to have to do tests.
