Disclaimer: this list is still a work in progress and is subject to change.  It covers the ‘mainline’ (the primary probability path)’s history from the year AD2023 to AD5346.  This is meant to be viewed as a sampling of the settings’ issues and technologies.  I have put in a considerable amount of work developing these elements and am still writing much of it down.  This is a short summary, so most items do not come with definitions.
