ʌltɪˈmeɪʃ(ə)n
noun Astrosoteriology
the optimum condition that the human species is able to reach either prior to its extinction, the cessation of The Cosmos, or some other undisclosed event that may fundamentally alter humanity’s ability to reach such a condition; the realisation and subsequent attainment of this ultimate state is regarded as the eventuality of the Astronist process of transcension if it is perpetuated for long enough; reaching the Ultimation is thus regarded as the endgame of the transcension of humankind.

ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: in Astronese, the term ultimation is indeed based on the pre-Cometanic word ultimate to denote “the most supreme or superior form of something” which, in the context of Astronist soteriology, is applied to refer to the highest possible condition for humankind.
