Meh, if self-assembling, self-repairing materials forming a swarm of nano bots was going to take over the world it would have already happened elsewhere in the universe and proliferated everywhere by now. instead we have biology. The actual dominate force in our dimension that did proliferate.

Do you have any evidence that us biologicals are not an outlier other than the anthropic principle? Maybe our solar system is in the machines’ nature preserve sector.
Nope, strictly by objective evidence we are alone as you know.

Our “dimension” the one unique to our perception and interpretation on Earth is dominated by biology.

I don’t see an artificial system being able to sustain a supply chain long enough to defeat that. The supply chain of biology is inherit.

How do you know it hasn't and isn't slowly making its way here? Universe is a big ol' boy.
Why would that apply to synthetics but not to biologicals?
Ecosystem vs synthetic supply chain.
