Chronosonder 

Sonder but not just for people over there, but for people over then; the realization that everyone in the past has lived a full life autonomous life, and there will be billions more in the future of which who are completely separate from you.
My parents lives didn’t start when I was born, there was a time when they were as naive as me, and my future kids will continue to live past me, and be smarter than I am now. That’s chronosonder.

Chromosomes 

The life force that flows through all things within the Filthy Frank universe, similar to The Force of Star Wars. Chromosomes can be extracted through someone's bodily fluids, or by the person doing something retarded on purpose. Chromosomes are somewhat in between matter and energy, seeing as they can be stored. The Dark Lord Chin Chin lives off of this matter-energy and uses it to fuel his dark powers. People who have been drained of chromosomes will act sluggish, be able to barely move, and say things that are very gay. Chromosomes are also a unit of time, suggesting that this mystical substance is fourth-dimensional.
It is time. Prepare to give the Dark Lord the Chromosomes we have stored over the past few chromosomes.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
