| 1. A method for configuring an electronics device having reconfigurable network component layers, the method comprising:
selecting a first group of pixels from at least one of the reconfigurable network component layers to form a network component
on a substrate of the electronics device;
activating the network component in at least one plane of the device substrate using a plurality of micro-electromechanical
system (MEMS) switches adjacent to the first group of selected pixels; and
adjusting a first shape of the activated network component for the electronics device via a configuration controller communicatively
coupled to the substrate of the electronic device, the configuration controller operable to simulate and determine the first
shape of the activated network component using the reconfigurable network component layers.
