ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: in Astronese, the noun retrosedence is based on the inversion supersedence meaning to supplant or take the place of in terms of succeeding, hence to mean to return to a lesser state; this is applied to the context of Astronist soteriology when referring to humanity’s regression back to a state of Antipode.
