| antemate (n., adj.) | |
|---|---|
| Applies to | headmates |
An antemate is a system member originating from another time period.[1]
Antemates typically have memories from the time they originate from, and oftentimes enter the system with little to no knowledge of the modern-day. The term was coined with non-introjects in mind, but antefictive, antefactive, etc. could also be used.
The term comes from Latin “ante” (meaning “ago”, “previously”).
