This article builds upon the Unity 3.0 hypothesis presented in Part 1 and Part 2, which proposed that the universe operates as a self-organizing, information-driven energy system—structured through the interplay of sensors (black holes), actuators (white holes), and ethical observers (conscious agents). While the Unity 3.0 hypothesis remains scientifically unverified, it is offered here not as a definitive theory, but as a thought experiment— one that may illuminate our responsibilities as power system engineers in a time of planetary transition. In this spirit, this third article shifts its focus from cosmological abstraction to urgent reality: the erosion of the human layer in power system engineering and explores how speculative cosmology can provide practical and ethical insight into the design, operation, and future of critical infrastructure.

As the global energy transition accelerates, technical demands on electricity infrastructure are growing. Yet the number of engineers capable of understanding, operating, and evolving these systems is declining. In many countries and regions including Japan, utility operators and manufacturers alike face an aging workforce, a shortage of new talent, and increasing complexity from cyber-physical integration and distributed energy systems.

Recent blackouts—such as the one affecting the Iberian Peninsula—remind us that systemic resilience is not guaranteed. While underinvestment in physical infrastructure is a recognized issue, we argue that the greatest underinvestment is in people. Without a new generation of power system engineers—ethical observers who can both sense and shape emergent systems—there can be no sustainable energy future.
