The worldviews of foresight: from the creature present to integral foresight

What then is a foresight worldview? It is an aspect of the mental model of the world, held by an individual, from which the perception of possible implications of actions, problem detection, strategy formulation and envisioning occurs. It is a cognitive construct, something that an individual assembles in their consciousness and then acts as if this construct is the real world. The view taken in this paper is that foresight behaviour arises from an individual’s particular foresight worldview.
