(wiki-TODO: make graphical concept visualizations)
After crossing a threshold where all the required things come to together to being fulfilled simultaneously
and in a way that fits together (either by chance or by active effort) long neglected areas of technology often receive an unexpected massive boost. An ignition.
(wiki-TODO: discuss the concept in general and APM specific case)

Example: Advanced productive nanosystems
- ...
Example: Autonomous humanoid robots (with today's non atomically precise technology)
Autonomous humanoid robots might experience the crossing of a technological percolation limit in
the not too far future (that is: likely way before gem-gum factories arrive)
With all the sub-technologies coming along well.
- Orientation: Inertial measurement units (IMUs) with sensor fusion
- Moving: mechanics, motors, dynamic robotics control (as one pretty inseparable sub-technology)
- Seeing: image recognition (interestingly this is bidirectional and lets as see the computers "hallucinations" – deep dream)
- Hearing: speech to text STT
- Thinking: contextual understanding (language translation systems need to really understand the text to make really good translations)
- Speaking: text to speech TTS
- Neuromorphic hardware chips
- ...
Once all the parts work sufficiently well then all the parts may come together spookily fast
