What will be the validation mechanism for those trends? What are some of the visualized consequences? What will be the cost, cities, and residents pay to try this technique in the desire of an outcome that promises to become involved public functions and city dynamics in a numerical representation of traits? What could be a few possible false correlations? What would be a mechanism to identify and filter those correlations? What might be the consequences of no longer being capable of becoming aware of those relationships and the way would it affect the decision-making
