retrofiction 

A term connotating the tenet that all science fiction especially fiction in the farthest of futures (science fantasy (ultramodernism)) is actually retrofuturism.

The delineation that all fiction assumes a linear past (determinism).

Retrofiction argues that fiction structurally assumes a linear past or causality itself.

That is to say, fiction is structured collinear to determinism.

The term 'retrofiction' implies that fiction has attributes of a self-chimera or is self-chimerous. That is to say fiction is self-fiction or self-false.

Ie. All representation has a self-attribute: meta-value.

That meta-value is false.

retrologic 

retroactive (and often selective) local argument made to justify actions, thoughts, beliefs, or choices made in the past or before the retroactive justification was formed. it describes creating a reason, justification, or any other device of human reason and/or argumentation after the said actions, thoughts, beliefs, or choices were made. Do 'it' now and invent a why later.

Often people's answers to hard questions for their dubious, questionable, or morally debatable actions during stressful, precarious, tumultuous, turbulent, or uncertain times are retrological. They construct reasoning and argue for and from it even if that why was completely different true why (if any) from the subject-matter requiring the reason. That's retrologic.
