ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the word hands is used in this context to refer to “the activity of humanity” and is applied in the context of transcension to refer to the principle that even if humanity achieves the state of transcensia, it may also lose it by its own actions or by uncontrollable external forces; this is classified as a subdoctrine of the broader of man doctrines category.
