prevent natural catastrophes locally close to herds via grid of sensors and (fewer) actuators in environment

[neurodream]

• not a qualitatively new thing, but a change in quality of already existing early-warning systems
• actuators to be considered "interceptors" before damage spreads
• unclear: how does this reconcile computational irreducibility of e.g. weather systems? wouldn't that be "jumping ahead"?
• such proposed interference with natural processes might disturb balance - rather than kill effects, try to move them around human-valued regions (cities etc.)
