The motivation for this paper is to lay to rest, in definitive terms, the lingering signs of this decades-old confusion.

The aim is to integrate more aspects of the theory into a single graphic, and in the same time discuss the implications arising from such an attempt. The Globe appeared as an answer to an attempt to integrate homecoming and evolving. The theoretical aspects graphically included are involution, second tier, the pre- trans fallacy, tetra-evolving, the Wilber-Combs Lattice, the 8 zones and maybe BigMind/Big Heart.
