The killer features of APM

Basically two things:

• Digital control over matter - establishing and maintaining machine phase – Note that 3D-printing is NOT digital control over matter!
• Emulation of complex (mechanical) properties from simple base materials:
  Gemstone based metamaterials, mechanical metamaterials, metamaterials
• Bonus third: Eventually high performance base materials. See: Gemstone-like compound & The defining traits of gem-gum-tec

The former is a critical basis for making technology as robust as life eventually.
The latter makes the technology much easier to achieve and access.

Mechanical metamaterials (advanced systems context)

Just like a smartphones display can display any kind of image with just pixels of three base colors,
a gemstone based on chip factory will be able to extrude any kind of product with just some base parts out of some base materials.

Digital control over matter allowing for error correction

(wiki-TODO: Add a similar short brief example highlighting the importance of going digital allowing for error correction)
