Because if you’re going to make up a world, you might as well make up a lexicon.

Cryotrust: A legal relationship in which the trustor, usually a grieving spouse/parent/guardian, entrusts a corpse and a fund with the trustee, a cryonic storage corporation. The trust fund pays for the resultant storage costs associated with keeping the trust corpse preserved at −196 °C (−320.8 °F) with the intent of revivifying the corpse when medically and financially feasible. To date, 47 corpses have been revivified with the trust fund still liquid.
If the trust fund becomes insolvent before the medical procedures necessary to revivify the corpse become effective and/or affordable by the trust, the trust dissolves and the corpse becomes an asset of the cryonic storage corporation and subject to sale.

Electroglobin: A xeno protein with caged gold, silver, and copper atoms arranged in a ring pattern to create a quantum tunneling effect. Resistance within the molecule is practically zero and can be as low as 1.5 nΩ•m at 37.0 °C (98.6 °F). The substance changes color between shades of reds, golds, and greens depending on electrical potential.
