Hm. I may misremember what toposophic level I was contemplating, but I did start by looking at the "sheer size of higher toposophic minds" when I was looking to see how large it needed to be.
As said though, that's in the context of a story I don't seem to be writing at present; if this is a thing you want to see in the setting, it needs to be attached to a different story.
All told, it's considerably less convenient than a lot of other kinds of habitat; the aforementioned ringworld at 1 AU for example doesn't have any places separted by more than 250 million km. It's a few days of travel by high-speed maglev, at most.
The Rogue Ring, on the other fist, has places separated by overland distances of about a hundred AU. That's at least months of travel, even by high-speed maglev.
Also, I'm going to repeat that outside the context of that story, there's no mandate that a Rogue Ring should be any particular size. Somebody demonstrating the concept could do so by building something a tenth of that size or less, and it would still be a remarkable instance of an ISO type not previously built.
