I believe the beings which made David's dream come true were advanced, earth-based mechas. I think it stands to reason that the mechas of David's time would have evolved/advanced enough to recreate their own kind. Or the robot scientists would have eventually learned how to build a robot which could not only learn but self-replicate.The sci-fi/mathematics writer Rudy Rucker has many novels dealing with this very subject. I recommend his four-book Wares series (Software, Wetware, Freeware, and Realware).
