If you’re not asking about anything that we currently don’t have a word for, we can use words as the alphabet, sure.
We then need to transmit a list of words, they’re allowed to use, otherwise our count is off, because I’m sure that 974 years from now english won’t be the same, as it is today. They’ll have a lot more skibid rizz than we do now.

Once you’re able to use time as an information, they can send a message with a character limit. For every letter they need to wait:
Remaining Message Length^Alphabet Size*Index of Letter*time intervalSo, if future people want to sent the message
helloand our time unit is 1s, and the max message length is 5, they need to send the bit to exactly26^4*7+26^3*4+26^2*11+26^1*11+26^0*14=3276872seconds or54614,5333minor910,242222hor ~38 days after the start time.We can choose smaller time intervals, but with a long enough message, we’ll eventually reach the year 3000 again. Alternatively, we can move the start time into the past, at the expense of quite a few possible messages.
This is effectively the same problem as trying to map an n-dimensional array to a one dimensional array.

No :)
I agree, that workers’ rights are an important topic, but adding more scope, won’t do either goal any good. - Comment on Ready for dinner 8 months ago:
