On Time-capsules (Future Anterior)

Playing with assumptions about time/what waits for us in the future. The time-capsule as it appears in your work is the false expression of the future anterior because it is not what we will have wanted to have been but simply something--an extract or abstract, a random selection--of something that will have been. What would it mean for the time-capsule to be a living form or vessel for reflection and not only a curiosity anticipating the shock of historical distance?
