Okay then. My main questions would be:
What amount of resources (EG computronium, support) would a S4 intelligence need, and what would that translate to in terms of the amount of modosphonts that could be supported by the resources used separately?
What sort of truly new mental capabilities (beyond being able to design and use new technologies) would emerge at the S4 level?
What about S3 or S5 intelligences?
