Forecasting software able to process thousands of parameters interacting simultaneously in a real-time mode. Depending on the predictability factor some events can be accurately forecast years into the future. Some extremely chaotic systems can only be accurately forecast seconds into the future. Such as the supercell thunderstorms that give birth to the many tornadoes of the MidNorAmHemi Tornado Waste. But, for some things, a few seconds is enough. R-reality stormboarding in Eller's time (see Future.Novel ), was still a danger sport. Earlier in the sport's history, however, it had been a death sport, played in the uninsured zones of the Tornado Wastes. It's still played in the zones, but with 'the prophet' on board, stormers lived a lot longer.
