Fictional explanations

Thinking about the nursery rhyme Database Database: some will object that the word "database" had no known currency in the 1700s, an anomaly, and thus interesting.

A nursery rhyme could be manifested as a transdimensional corporation, leaving little or no evidence for lexical forensic investigation.

Or the rhyme could be an extraliminal remnant from a cryptographic numen, perhaps a prequel to Joseph Marie Jacquard's development of programmable loom technology.
