Cybernetically-augmented Sapiens and "evolved"/bioengineered Primates -
some of the survivors from a frozen, war-ruined Earth circa 2492 C.E..
The _goomee-djen_ mark the "official" birth of their language
_goomeelegoo_ in the year 2564 C.E. (a 1,000 yrs. after the birth of William
Shakespeare).

Language[s] change[s]: vowels shift, phonologies crash-&-burn, grammars
leak, morpho-syntactics implode, lexico-semantics mutate, lexicons explode,
orthographies reform, typographies blip-&-beep, slang flashes, stylistics
warp... linguistic (R)evolutions mark each-&-every quantum leap...

order on a chaotic universe, but reflects its own wildness back." - Gary Snyder
