ABSTRACT: The three authors of this article, a social worker, a systems engineer,
and a social biologist, are professional futurists interested in human social development.
The three authors also share strategic and foresight studies and a deep
curiosity for understanding of human consciousness and the pursuit of meaning in life. Three different thinkers, brought
together by Poetry. This paper will consider the field under the
mnemonic POETRY: 1) Professional practice; 2) Ontology and outcomes; 3) Epistemology
and ecology; 4) Teleology and techniques; 5) Relationships and
responsibilities, leading to; 6) You/Your place and potential contributions. Much
like poetry integrates information and meaning derived from different
perceptions, we propose an Advanced Relational Meaning System (“A.R.M.S”) to
integrate information, matter-energy and social construction of reality to
construct a consciousness and capacity to cope with coping and consciousness.
