The world feels unfamiliar – more volatile, more complex, and harder to navigate than at any point in recent memory. That sense is not misplaced. It reflects the reality of a system under strain.

Across seven domains – science, technology, society, geopolitics, economy, philosophy, and environment – more than 1,700 convergent forces have been identified and mapped between 2025 and 2030, with the list continuing to grow. These forces are directional, accelerating, and deeply entangled. Together, they are expanding the possibility space – the set of plausible futures – faster than most institutions can observe, let alone act.
