Off My Mind: Has The Marvel Universe Future Been Revealed?

Avengers #5 will have quite a bit to reveal.

Right before Siege was unleashed on the Marvel Universe, we heard that the events unfolding had been in the making for the past seven years. Bendis and Marvel had everything figured out and knew where the 'universe' was headed. Could that be  happening once again? In today's Avengers #5 we just might be getting a glimpse at what is to come.

If you've been reading Avengers, you know that part of the team is in the future with Future Tony Stark and Maestro. From the image above (click HERE to see a bigger, high-rez version!), we see a timeline that could have the secrets of what is in store for the Marvel Universe. 
 
Looking carefully at the image, we see several things that have already happened and some interesting bits that just might be coming up. What are the important parts here?

We see "Heroic Age Begins," "Hope Returns!?" "Three," "Man Without Fear" and "Five Lights" listed on the timeline. Maybe we need an even closer look.

We can see "What is where Asgard should be?" "What's in the rings" (maybe dealing with Mandarin), something about Iron Lad, "Galactus Seed,"  "Where's Wanda?" "Fear Without Man," "Steve's Vision" (probably from Captain America: Reborn #6), "Ultron War" and "Yesterday's X-Men." There's also a bunch of math scribbling about the whole thing. As a former Mathematics teacher, perhaps I should start working on those. I have a feeling this is going to be one important comic book panel in the months or years to come. 
  
What do you think about this? Is this some of what we can expect or is it just a bunch of crazy writing from a random alternate future?
