This 2D, 3D, and even 4D map of the noosphere growing over time illustrates the concept of the noosphere unfolding as a superorganism and the formation of its global nervous system. Through graphical representation with various layers in the maps, it is possible to visualize the major systems of the noosphere, such as the economy, trade, and transportation (the noosphere’s circulatory system), as well as human population distribution (the noosphere’s thinking and feeling component).
The slider features built into the maps allows the user to track the noosphere’s development and the progressive interconnection of its various systems through time. The next phase of this project will both add more layers to the map and go farther back in time.
Human Energy hopes that these interactive maps will become a valuable resource for academic research and teaching on global systems.
