Safe Acension for Baseline Bob

[stevebowers]

A first singularity transapient mind is around a thousand times more sophisticated than a human mind (some are more, some less). This level of complexity could easily collapse into chaos; imagine a thousand human minds all shouting to one another at once, over a shared DNI connection. So somewhere in the ascension process all this complexity must be arranged into a viable inter-communicating consciousness.

I suspect that a very large fraction of a transapient mind is dedicated towards understanding itself- a very tricky task, presumably. In a society containing numerous transapients, an even larger fraction of the mind must be dedicated to understanding other (equally complex) transapients. Compared to this complexity, understanding a modosophont mind would be child's play - nevertheless, you will find that a significant fraction of transapients do not specialise in studying modosophonts, so they might seem a bit distant and uncomprehending.
