[spoon-discuss] What are gnomes?

Appearantly Joel's machine had trouble, as nomic.net was down last night/this morning, and an email I sent bounced back. Here it is again: 

I have a question:  What exactly are Gnomes, in this game?
Are they supposed to be inanimate objects?
Little guys with different properties?
Machines?
Animals?
Dolls?
I need to know, as what they are will affect Life Core design, and I may be doing a revision of the Gnome rules (mostly shortening things and standardizing some stuff).
Oh, and about Technologies: I think that what I did was too structured; had too much overhead. It actually had a lot of flexibility, but was just to complicated for it's own good. Anyway, my thoughts are, a technology is Machines + Knowledge, so somebody (maybe me) ought to do something with that. I think that Workshops or Factories with Machines are things that should be necessary for, say, creating airspeeders.
