BLUE METADOMAIN
Explore the Vision Behind the Blue MetaDomain
In this collection of key insights and reflections, leading voices from Diotima Society open new perspectives on the Blue MetaDomain: a visionary framework that sees the planet not as a set of resources to manage, but as a constellation of living and intelligent ecosystems capable of generating value, agency, and future.

In this excerpt, Armando Massarenti outlines the foundational principles of the Blue MetaDomain, describing it as an initiative capable of integrating technology, sustainability, economy, and culture. At its heart lies the vision of an “intelligent ocean”—an active, interconnected agent that fosters new awareness and global governance models.
#1 Blue MetaDomain: A New Ecosystem for Ocean and Earth (with Armando Massarenti)
Paolo Zanenga introduces a key turning point in the Blue MetaDomain’s vision: transition not as a burden, but as a regenerative process.
BMD transcends the traditional approach to environmental costs, emerging as a platform capable of aggregating energies, intelligences, and resources to confront the ocean crisis and generate tangible economic, social, and environmental value.
#2 Transition: From Liability to Asset
(Paolo Zanenga – Diotima Society)
In this third contribution, Maurizio Morgantini addresses the unexpected potential of decommissioned offshore platforms.
Some have already been transformed into space launch bases—showing how the Blue MetaDomain offers new strategic scenarios, starting from what is already in place, and reaching even beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
#3 Ocean and Space: infrastructures to be reimagined (Maurizio Morgantini - Diotima Society)
In the fifth contribution, Maurizio Morgantini reflects on the Technocene—an era of hybridisation between humanity and technology. Within this profound transition, there is a risk of erasing the very concept of responsibility. Blue MetaDomain proposes an alternative path: to consciously govern hybridisation and build a future where ethics is not an optional add-on, but a foundational principle.
#5 Technocene and Responsibility
(Maurizio Morgantini - Diotima Society)
The vast, untapped annual value created by ecosystems is neither monetized nor integrated into economic processes. The Blue MetaDomain positions itself as a systemic infrastructure designed to unlock and make liquid this potential, generating positive impact for business, economy and the planet alike thus activating this immense value as a planetary economic agent.
#4 The Invisible Value of Ecosystems
(Paolo Zanenga – Diotima Society)
In this clip, Paolo Zanenga introduces one of the most innovative elements of the Blue MetaDomain: the ocean represented as a digital entity capable of direct interaction with stakeholders and human actors. Through the convergence of AI and digital twin technologies, the platform is designed to manage complex systems where facts and perceptions intertwine, fostering a dynamic and participatory model of governance.
#6 The Ocean as a Digital Interlocutor
(Paolo Zanenga – Diotima Society)
A powerful perspective on the need to move beyond the traditional concept of borders. The forces shaping today’s world are meta-territorial, no longer tied to physical geography.
Morgantini invites us to view the planet’s coastlines as a new line of meaning: an osmotic territory where land and sea converge, and where the culture of lived experience can give rise to new forms of responsibility and shared agency.
#7 Boundaries and New Territories
(Maurizio Morgantini – Diotima Society)
It is necessary to move beyond blind action driven by fragmented, specialized, and siloed knowledge. Making decisions, without a solid foundation of shared and distributed understanding, means exposing oneself to hidden risks.
The Blue MetaDomain project creates the conditions for systemic risk prevention through the intelligent connection of data, agents, and perspectives.
#8 Guiding Choice Through Awareness
(Paolo Zanenga – Diotima Society)
Today, around 1,800 organizations operate across the oceanic landscape. Yet, they often do not engage in dialogue, nor do they share data, methods, or objectives. To address the systemic challenges affecting the ocean, we must go beyond the fragmentation of actors and develop new tools for coordination and strategic vision. The Blue MetaDomain project positions itself as an enabling platform to creatively and competently co-create a new possible world.
#9 Governing Complexity to Build a New World (Maurizio Morgantini - Diotima Society)
Paolo Zanenga offers a systemic perspective in which humans and the environment continuously co-evolve, breaking free from the dichotomy between observer and observed. In today’s unstable and deglobalising world, we must develop dynamic models capable of early warning, adaptation, and value generation. A new economy can emerge from our ability to sense weak signals and focus collective energy on what truly matters.
#10 Interacting to Evolve: Open and Intelligent Ecosystems (Paolo Zanenga – Diotima Society)
In his talk, Paolo Zanenga points to the urgent need for new systems of anticipation and complex governance, capable of acting before crises occur.
The Blue MetaDomain responds to this challenge by positioning itself as a proactive, integrated platform—sensitive to systemic imbalances and designed to integrate distributed knowledge into a systemic vision that can surface even unexpected scenarios.
#11 Future-Shaping Relations: The Potential of Metadomains (Paolo Zanenga – Diotima Society)
In his final reflection, Paolo Zanenga emphasizes the need to move beyond fragmented, sector-based approaches. Reality must be understood as an interconnected whole—an ecosystem of interacting poles. This perspective lies at the heart of the Blue MetaDomain: a metadomain designed to integrate diverse forms of knowledge, generate new interpretations of risk, and create value through systemic relationships.
#12 Systemic Thinking: Beyond the Sum of Its Parts (Paolo Zanenga – Diotima Society)
