The X.0 Wave/Age Theory, related theories, models (like 7PS), and concepts (like SME 5.0) conceived and developed by Prof. Hamid Doost Mohammadian, offers a profound lens through which to understand the evolution of human civilization in the digital age. This special issue seeks to explore how the X.0 Wave/Age Theory can inform and shape global innovative tech-cyber government initiatives aimed at achieving sustainable governance, enhancing digital resilience, and fortifying cybersecurity, with a particular emphasis on its relevance to geography and geoscience. By mapping the future sustainable, this issue aims to elucidate new pathways and methodologies for navigating the complexities of the digital era while ensuring the longevity and resilience of our technological ecosystems, especially in geographic contexts.

Ultimately, the X.0 Wave Theory offers a valuable framework for comprehending the implications of our technological trajectory for innovation, markets, and privacy. It emphasizes that the current state of the digital economy is just one phase in a broader progression of technological and societal evolution. By taking a long-term perspective and considering potential future scenarios outlined by this theory, policymakers and industry leaders can develop more effective strategies to promote innovation, ensure competitiveness, and safeguard privacy in our rapidly evolving digital landscape, taking into account geographical considerations and spatial data. The X.0 wave/age theory, F(X) X.0=1,2,3,4,5,6

The theory posits that there have been more than 6 waves/ages of civilization so far:
(1) X.0=1.0: The Agrarian Age (1.0),
(2) X.0=2.0: The Industrial Age (2.0),
(3) X.0=3.0: The Information Age or Post-Industrial Age (3.0),
(4) X.0=4.0: The current Age of Artificial Intelligence or Intelligence Age or Digitalization Age, or Biotechnology, or Virtual Reality (4.0)
(5) X.0=5.0: The Human Age or the 5th wave theory (X.0=5.0) or Tomorrow Age theory (5.0)
This future is referred to as the 5th Wave or Industry 5.0 and is characterized by the convergence of various industries and advanced technologies. Prof. Doost has introduced several related theories, models, and concepts for this era, including Society 6.0, Urban 6.0 (Utopia), Geo 5.0, Entrepreneurship 5.0, Edu 5.0, Welfare 5.0, and SME 5.0/hybrid SMEs or tomorrow’s SMEs. These theories emphasize the importance of preparing for tomorrow's shocks and addressing the potential risks and challenges associated with this fifth wave. The 5th wave is still emerging, and its full potential is not yet clear. However, it is expected to bring about significant changes in the way we live and work, and to lead to the development of new industries and technologies. This wave is marked by the integration of technology and humans, where humans and machines work together in a seamless way to achieve goals. This wave is characterized by the development of the Internet of Things, which connects physical objects to the internet, and the rise of smart homes, smart cities, and autonomous vehicles.
The X.0 wave/age theory (when X.0=5.0) is designed to:
      1) forecast.
      2) prevent; and
      3) face the
post-sustainability impact of today's 7PS challenges and tomorrow's concerns, crises, and shocks with usage of (a) open innovation; (b) implementation; (c) development, and (d) application. Seven Pillars of Sustainability Model ''7PS model'' which is a comprehensive framework by focusing on seven pillars of sustainability such as:
      (1) Culture (the 1st priority)
      (2) Environment
      (3) Social
      (4) Economy
      (5) Technology
      (6) Education
      (7) Politics
Additionally, Peace and Love as values.
(6) X.0=6.0: The Transhuman Age or X.0 Wave/Age (X.0)
This stage represents the next frontier of human evolution, where technology and biology merge, and humans transcend their current limitations. It is expected to bring about 14 AIMS Geosciences. The X.0 wave/age theory suggests that we are currently in a period of transition between the fourth and fifth waves, as we grapple with the challenges and opportunities presented by rapidly advancing technologies and changing social and economic conditions. The theory also suggests that there may be many more waves to come as we continue to evolve and adapt as a species. The Transhuman Age is the latest wave, marked by the merging of technology and biology, and the transcendence of human limitations. This new age is expected to bring about significant changes in human society, including the possibility of immortality and the exploration of new frontiers in space. The X.0 wave/age theory proposes that there may be many more waves to come as we continue to evolve and adapt as a species. The theory highlights the importance of understanding and anticipating the potential impacts of technological advancements on society and the need for responsible innovation to ensure that these changes benefit humanity as a whole. However, this shift also raises significant privacy concerns, as personal data is increasingly commodified and exploited by corporations. The X.0 wave/age theory provides a useful framework for understanding the implications of this trend for innovation, markets, and privacy. The theory suggests that the current state of the digital economy is just one stage in a larger process of technological and social evolution, and that future waves or ages may bring about new challenges and opportunities. By adopting a long-term perspective and considering the potential future scenarios suggested by the X.0 wave/age theory, policymakers and industry leaders can develop more effective strategies for promoting innovation, ensuring competition, and protecting privacy in a rapidly changing digital landscape, sustainable governance, digital resilience, and cybersecurity in the context of geography and geoscience.
