mass management		it becomes clearer, that a lot of implementation work is going into the management of large amounts of data (rulesets, rules, states, interfaces, ...). The processing itself (moving, deleting, copying...) is tedious, but especially the navigating and selecting. We will need a strategy (and then tools) to handle 'mass data'. - Maybe 'mass data' will become the crmac primary theme...
propagation limits		rulesets only interact through their interfaces. There is no such thing as a 'common storage'. Existing projects have often shown usage of the 'environment' as an implementation of common storage. It has to be evaluated how far limiting the delay of the 'propagation cone' really is, and if a definition/implementation of common storage would make sense.
initiative		the rule engine together with the the pattern solver is already good in creating new aspects. Nevertheless the human 'initiative' seems not to be matched by that. Therefore scope of this topic is to investigate the principal limits of crmac in this area and, if necessary, define the enhancement concept.
controlled destruction		a pair of contrary mechanisms to 'destroy' and to 'heal'/'reject' rules.
