Based on the latest document where one of Oliver's specialties was Planck-scale engineering, I decided to do some background research on the subject. One of the first articles I came across was this: http://hplusmagazine.com/2013/11/25/femto-engineering-for-dummies/
There were some very interesting things mentioned, here are some quotes:
"Hugo de Garis has talked about attotech and Planck-tech, and the search for Infra-particle intelligence."
Second quote: "Or maybe there are ways to structure plancktech or sub-plancktech into complex dynamic forms outside of exotic matter -- instead, "beneath" ordinary matter."
"Anyway, I've been thinking a bit lately about how the construction of femtostructures might actually happen. So far the best ideas I've come up with seem possible only inside a quark-gluon plasma or maybe a quark star or some other kind of out-there form of strange matter."
Anyway, read the article, there are some striking parallels.
The really good stuff is in the section headed:
"Polymer Chains in Strange Matter"
Then this companion article:
http://hplusmagazine.com/2011/11/25/x-tech-and-the-search-for-infra-particle-intelligence/
"Beyond Femtotech"
Steadily working our way down to XM scale engineering in the real world...
To quote, the three steps for femto-engineering:
1) Make a reasonably stable quark-gluon plasma; or make a quark star, or journey to one. [Maybe a portal?!]
2) Fashion a device capable of reaching into said strange matter and manipulating the "polymer" chains therein. [Done, scanner]
3) Use said device to build tensegrity structures, by winding polymers around each other appropriately, and building structures of of the ensuing multi-polymer strands, in the broad fashion of DNA tensegrity structures [XM Constructs]
