This might be a little off-topic, but I wonder if the idea of nano-passes can be applied to other areas. For example, can we predict the future of technology by gradually evolving their capabilities? Or say start from some point in the future (interstellar travel!), and gradually work backwards what we think is needed?
Or how about predicting geopolitics/economics?
To use this method effectively, I think we'll need to fully specify, to the extent possible, the condition of each stage in time. That way, at any stage, we can see what constituents might possibly interact with each other and evolve something new.
