Line 132:
* [[Psychic Static]]: A Foundation technical development.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: {{spoiler|R. Daneel Olivaw}}, though it is closer to seventeen thousand at the time the series begins.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: The whole story is based on the decline and fall of the Roman Empire {{smallcapssmall-caps|In Space}}, but parts are taken from other influences. Namely, the Empire in ''Foundation and Empire'' is based on the Byzantine Empire (Cleon II is Justinian I and Bel Riose is Bellisarius), {{spoiler|the Mule}} is Charlemagne mixed with Tamurlane, and it could be argued that the Foundation is the United States in ''Foundation's Edge'' and ''Foundation and Earth.'' "The Merchants" in the original ''Foundation'' novel is based on the manifest destiny philosophy.
* [[The Remnant]]
* [[Retcon]]: Aside from those mentioned earlier, an in-universe example exists with the Second Foundation. {{spoiler|Hari Seldon knew that the Seldon Plan wasn't perfect, so he charged the Second Foundation with the task of constantly revising and updating it to make sure it stayed on track. To become a full-fledged member of the Second Foundation, the initiate is required to make an original contribution to the Plan.}}
