| The Order of Intelligence is a modern metric on measuring the depth of an individual’s capacity to solve problems. The standard notation is a capital O followed by a number. There are some assumptions and limitations to this scale, however, as higher orders become more and more incomprehensible to human understanding, | The Order of Intelligence is a modern metric on measuring the depth of an individual’s capacity to solve problems.

| O1 AIs are commonly neural network based. These AI are trained on a specific dataset and, given enough time, produce a satisfactory output based on that data. However, unexpected inputs will more than likely produce garbage data. O1 AIs were first created in the early Information Age. | O1 AIs are commonly neural network based.

| O2 intellects are capable of taking inputs and running simulations on likely and unlikely outputs. Most of humanity falls under the O2 category along with some self aware AI. O2s are capable of storing their analytical outputs in a cohesive format that is useful for others in later generations. | O2 intellects are capable of taking inputs and running simulations on likely and unlikely outputs.

| - | ===== O3 - Order Three - Parallel Intelligence | + | ==== O3 - Parallel Intelligence ==== |
| O3 intellects are characterized by highly optimized independent parallel systems working together as a single individual. All the nodes of an O3 intellect can simulate both optimal and non optimal solutions to multiple problems at the same time to come up with a perfect solution. O3 intellects may seem irrational to human observers because of their non-human hierarchy. There are no O3 organics. | O3 intellects are characterized by highly optimized independent parallel systems working together as a single individual.

| - | ===== O4 - Order Four - Quantum Intelligence | + | ==== O4 - Quantum Intelligence ==== |
| - | O4 outputs are unintelligible to humans, so understanding their structure is difficult. Regardless of this, O4 intellects seem to be characterized by what seems to be instantaneous outputs regardless of input. In this case, it would seem that O4 AIs are only limited by distance, since they are not omnipotent. The only thing that seems to cause longer computation time is the non-physical, | + | O4 outputs are unintelligible to humans, so understanding their structure is difficult.

However, O4s are still very capable of interacting with humans, with the most notable example being the Unification Mandate. | + | O4 personalities are no longer recognizable.

| - | ===== O5 - Order Five - Ascendant Order ===== | + | ==== O5 - Ascendant Order ==== |
| O5s have overcome the O4 limitation of distance and are functionally omnipotent. Through highly networked quantum bit flip systems, O5s can communicate with its nodes across its sphere of influence instantaneously. This theoretical order of intelligence would require an exponential amount of energy to run and maintain relative to its size. The intellect would still be limited by how fast it can expand its infrastructure in real time. | O5s have overcome the O4 limitation of distance and are functionally omnipotent.

| + | ==== O6 - Transcendant Order ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | O6s are no longer bound by the limitations of spacetime and can seemingly manifest things into reality at a whim. If the intellect requires a processing center at a certain place in space, it simply appears. This order would require more energy than available in the observable universe. While this would be an insurmountable problem in the traditional sense, nullspace siphons, pocket universes, and dimensional entropy drives could theoretically drain energy from other realities to use. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== O7 - Reality Order ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | O7s are a theoretical order and are speculative at best. O7s are characterized as existing in all space and all time within the current universe. Such an order would violate physics as we know it. The intellect may exist as a Boltzmann Brain, with every atom in the universe as its neurons. This order would technically use the entropy of the universe as its energy source, but may also draw from other realities for the near infinite energy requirement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== O8 - Infinite Order ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | O8s are a theoretical order that is technically unobservable. O8s are characterized as existing in all space and all time in every universe. The amount of energy required to run such an intellect would be infinite, regardless of how many universes it has at its disposal. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== O9 - Imaginary Order ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | O9s exists not only infinitely in every reality, but also in unreality. Unreality is defined as all information about all states of all systems which can never be. A lower order cannot and will not ever comprehend what or how an O9 exists because it un-exists. | ||
