Abstract
In this final chapter, we state some questions that arose from this work and speculate about future directions related to this project. In Sect. 10.1, we discuss modifications of the diagram D that preserve A-adequacy. In Sect. 10.2, we speculate about using normal surface theory in our polyhedral decomposition of M A to attack various open problems, for example the Cabling Conjecture and the determination of hyperbolic A-adequate knots.
