In proposals to develop APM, this problem will be solved by guided molecular trajectories and positionally - controlled mechanosynthesis: reactive molecular fragments will be guided by molecular machine systems to a specific position and geometric orientation with respect to the growing
atomically precise work piece so that the application of mechanical force will cause the desired bond to form.
