 * Since nanites don't do much thinking for themselves, they are in constant communication with the offsite computer. When the user of nanites leaves the range of that computer, known as the 'bubble', most nanite functionality shuts down, and begins to only follow what tiny little programs the transponders have built in. This is typically just the upkeep program.
