Essentially, the idea being hinted at is that maybe positions could be
decomposed into sub-elements [using "position fragments" is a special case] and
each evaluated separately.  Then the overall position evaluation would be
obtained by some synthesis process.  There may be other ways to evaluate
positions too, other than the current practice of relying on extensive
searching.
