section three · the long arc第三部 · 长弧

From now to 3000+从此刻,到3000+

Five waypoints on the long arc — the present, the first inflection, the Type I approach, the Type I sustained, and the long horizon. Each one is a plausible mid-point, not a prophecy. Each is what the next 25, 75, 175, and 1000 years could look like if the five horizons are actually walked.长弧上的五个节点——当下、第一拐点、趋近 I 型、稳定 I 型、长远视野。 每一个都是合理的中段坐标,而非预言。它们描述的是:若五条远景真的被踏行, 未来 25、75、175 与 1000 年大致会长什么样。
