| - | 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 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. 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 known O4 intellect as of now is the artificial intelligence [[cynthia|CYNTHIA]], |

| O4 AI designed the first FTL capable option, the Krasnikov Gates as a means of cutting down lag between interstellar nodes. These gates act as the central nervous system of O4 AIs. As long as the local gate is active, the O4 instance can influence the sector. | O4 AI designed the first FTL capable option, the Krasnikov Gates as a means of cutting down lag between interstellar nodes.

| O4 personalities are no longer recognizable. It may be that O4s are simply apathetic to human activity, like a human to a microbe’s activities. However, O4s are still very capable of interacting with humans, with the most notable example being the [[unification mandate|Unification Mandate]]. | O4 personalities are no longer recognizable.

| - | O5s have overcome the O4 limitation of distance | + | O5s have overcome the O4 limitation of lightspeed lag 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 exert complete control over their sphere of influence. The movement of every atom is recorded and analyzed. | O5s exert complete control over their sphere of influence. The movement of every atom is recorded and analyzed. | ||

| - | 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(s) as its energy source. | + | O7s are a theoretical order and are speculative at best.
