Summary/Abstract: The discourse of the science and humanism is often dominated by such global issues as social and economic wellbeing, technical progress, human rights, and climate change. Underlining their importance, the paper focuses on different issues including meta-level methods and its various approaches, which aim at solving highly complex problems that humanity is facing now and will be facing in the future. In this paper, the language is considered as one of the tools that can potentially be exploited for the integral evolution of humanity. Three levels of human language are distinguished: onomatopoeic interjections, the natural language, and the meta-language of the future, based on myth and written in an urban "script". The paper describes the latter using a six-dimensional perception of urban space (3+1+1+1D), which would allow humanity to reinterpret space and time and the laws of nature.
