Today (2014, ..., 2017) there is still a puzzle of technological fragments.
There are fragments of todays technology as well as fragments of future technology.

The fragments of future technology are more or less reliably identifiable by [[exploratory engineering|theoretical investigation]].
Those future fragments form the core basis for all aspirations towards advanced APM.
And those future fragments are an absolute necessity to identify the fragments of todays technology (located at the beginning of the development path) that point in the right direction and that need to be pursued.

Beside Finding and identifiying more of those fragments the remaining objective is to find out what work needs to be done to tie the end of todays fragments together with the beginning of the fragments later in the technological capability ladder.
By working on many "island fragments" on that path simultaneously, technology '''may''' be heading towards some kind of [[technological percolation limit]] where technological capabilities rapidly rise.
