How will we remember tomorrow?
2050 considers care and land planning, 2100 accessibility under changing climate conditions, and 3026 understandable transmission. Each horizon begins with evidence and compares explicitly conditional possibilities.
If institutions, funding and adaptation remain effective, places of memory could stay accessible.

What can remain after a thousand years?
A stone may survive a thousand years while its name becomes unreadable. A copied file may remain while its context is lost. Persistence and remembrance are different things.

Is 3026 a prediction?
No. This horizon is beyond robust social forecasting. The page explores conditions for transmission and remembrance.
Why consider several possible paths?
Cooperation, unequal access and crises affect the conditions of farewell differently. None is presented as inevitable.
