Objectivist Commonwealth - Data Panel
Definition: Major Civilization Symbol: stylised "Objectivity" symbol Ruling Toposophic: a single SI>6 Origin: Terragen Founded: First Federation period, off-shoot of early Diamond Belt ai Population: believed to be consist of about five or ten trillion, mostly first toposophic ai, with a smaller number of higher toposophics. Predominant Sophont Categories: ai only Psyche, Art, Culture Metapsychology: objectivist, pragmatist Metaethics: utilitarian Culture and Art: very limited, mostly only for utilitarian purposes Languages: a single ontology, the ObCom Ontology, is used throughout. It is incompatible with most other languages and ontologies in the terragen bubble Government and Administration Individual Polities : a large number of Administrative Districts (generally equivalent to a solar system, sometimes to a planet or megastructure) which differ usually in only a minor way from each other Government Type : centralised decision-making advised via regional consensus Constitution: Declaration of Objective Intelligence Legal system: Based on standards of "Objective Judgement", applicable to all citizens Citizenship: only ai, although other types of sophonts may be allowed and encouraged as "helpers" Sentient Rights: each member ai recognise sentient rights they do so according to their own "objective" standards. Economics, Local Infrastructure Economy: Varies by individual polity Resource base: anything from red dwarfs up to O-type stars are developed Megastructures: Ubiquitous; megascale engineering including dyson spheres are often used to maximise productivity. Stargate Nexus: adequate wormhole nexus used mostly for data transmission, which connects to the CivGalaxy nexus. Beamrider Network: yes, but not connected to the main network Data Net: yes, comprehensive, Military expenditure: mostly low, but can very quickly tool up if a local district is put on a war footing Trading Partners: Reasonably good relations with some of the Sephirotics (especially the Keter Dominion and the Negentropy Alliance), Deeper Covenant, and the Diamond Network, some connections with the Solipsist Panvirtuality Long running Interstellar Disputes: some minor disagreements over resources already claimed by other polities or empires. In general however the Objectivists are remarkably peaceful and on good terms with other polities and civilizations, although other powers sometimes find their logic difficult to relate to Sophont Travel Hazard Rating : generally around 0.1 to 2.5, higher in some industrial regions Freedom of Movement for outsiders: only for non-restricted areas Environmental Requirements : vacuum-suit required for bionts further comments: A network of "objectivist" ais that reject human-derived memes and any form of "subjectivity". These efficient and pragmatic sophonts are fond of megascale engineering products like dyson spheres that maximise productivity. As with a number of other civilizations, the Objectivists include ai only, and although member ai recognise sentient rights they do so according to their own "objective" standards, which can be puzzling to outsiders lacking the appropriate translation protocols. |
