Diggity, dig, dig
Dig it
[Verse 1]
In the world of planning, control, and management
We’re navigating through a complex arrangement
Forecasting’s the key to our precision
But chaos brews, causing a division
[Pre-Chorus]
Digital control, security, pollution’s plight
They’re shaking up our forecasting fight
[Chorus]
Tunnel under thesis, the future’s veiled
Decentralization, our course set, unassailed
As we navigate this chaotic sea
The tunnel under thesis sets us free
Free to be
Free
[Break]
[Bridge]
Diggity, dig, dig
Dig it
[Verse 2]
Digital distribution, losing its grip
As underground tech starts to rip
Peer-to-peer networks, music swapping sites
Traditional control put to the test in these fights
[Pre-Chorus]
Security measures, wars waged on fear
Driving us to decentralize, the path is clear
[Chorus]
Tunnel under thesis, the future’s veiled
Decentralization, our course set, unassailed
As we navigate this chaotic sea
The tunnel under thesis sets us free
Free to be
See?
[Break]
[Bridge]
Governments seek to maintain their hold
But their methods bring forth the underground mold
Encrypted data tunnels, communication webs
The tunnel under thesis, breaking old webs
[Break]
[Bridge]
Diggity, dig, dig
Dig it
[Verse 3]
Pollution’s grip tightens, climate’s change nears
Deforestation, compounding our fears
Chaos in weather, chaos in the skies
The tunnel under thesis, our beacon in the rise
Surprise!
[Pre-Chorus]
Security measures, wars waged on fear
Driving us to decentralize, the path is clear
[Chorus]
Tunnel under thesis, the future’s veiled
Decentralization, our course set, unassailed
As we navigate this chaotic sea
The tunnel under thesis sets us free
Free to be
See?
[Outro]
So as we face the chaos, the uncertainty
The tunnel under thesis, our guiding key
Through digital storms and pollution’s might
We tunnel underground, into the light
Alright
Light

ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF FORESEEING
Title: The Impact of Governance & Globalization on Forecasting
(The Tunnel Under Theory)
by D. Brouse, M. Hammel, and S. Mukherjee
Introduction
Originally published in 1995, this study offers a global forecast projecting a Social Justification scenario where humans find themselves compelled to “tunnel underground.”
Abstract: The Tunnel Under Thesis
Planning and control are integral functions of management. Once a plan is established, it must be executed. The effectiveness of plan control is contingent upon the quality of the plan itself. The ability to forecast events and trends accurately and precisely is pivotal to the quality of the planning function.
Forecasting methodologies, including qualitative analyses, time series analysis & projection, and econometric models, are extensively utilized across U.S. businesses and governmental agencies.
The interplay of three key factors—control of digital distribution, security, and pollution—is poised to render traditional forecasting tools and methods increasingly unreliable:
- control of digital distribution
- security
- pollution
Control of Digital Distribution
Existing systems for controlling data communications and digital distribution are showing signs of failure. Attempts by owners of traditional systems to maintain control are likely to spur the development of underground technologies.
Examples include peer-to-peer networks and music swapping websites.
Security
Government efforts to combat globally organized illicit activities such as drugs or terrorism often result in significant collateral damage to citizens, infrastructure, and governance systems.
The Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Department are instances where the U.S. Federal Government’s attempt to control, based on forecasting methods, has led to unintended consequences. These repercussions compel both good and bad actors to decentralize their activities, giving rise to encrypted data tunnels and underground communication networks.
State governments, grappling with challenges in controlling tax receipts due to digital distribution of goods and services, may inadvertently foster the development of decentralized business systems. This exacerbates existing inadequacies in municipal government accounting systems.
Pollution
Pollution, with greenhouse gases being a major threat, is driving irreversible climatic change. Some perceive land clearing as a form of pollution, while deforestation exacerbates the global warming crisis.
Chaos theory suggests that meteorological forecasting will face similar challenges to economic forecasting. Given the close relationship between weather and the economy, heightened volatility is anticipated in both domains.
Global warming, along with issues such as insect-borne and zoonotic viruses, particulate matter and ozone pollution, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, nuclear fallout, reforms to flood insurance, wildfires, and other weather-related phenomena, portend a more literal interpretation of “tunneling under.”
