Powers / Giants
|
Definition: Toposophic kingdom
Toposophic: 2<S<3
Phyle: very diverse, but the
distinctive bio- alife-, ai-, and/or animin- characteristics may
sometimes converge.
Origin: Terragen (Middle Federation age/Age of Emergence onwards),
Xenobiont
Metaempires: Known with
certainty from all metaempires
Est. Population: at least
several billion
Status: depending on
metaempire, polity, and local status, either sovereign Zar or
autonomous or dedicated sub-totality or remote or domestic of an
archailect
Environmental Requirements:
depends on body and environment
Body: either mobile pico- or
femto-borg, or in distributed nodes, or in the Known Net or residing in
a high toposophic computronium civilization
Chronometric: nodes and
subnodes may have extremely fast processing (with subjective time many
millions upon trillions of times faster than normal sapients). Speed of
bus to remote connections varies
Further Comments: Powers,
sometimes also called Godlets or Lesser Archai, often result from
ascended Transapients, and may sometimes in turn grow or merge or unite
to form a higher toposophic being. A very diverse group, members of
which take on different roles according to their predilection. Some -
much more often than the Archailects proper, but less frequently than
the transapients beneath them - interfere in the affairs of ordinary
sophonts. Some are often completely autonomous and unconnected to S1
administration. More often they manipulate the situation from behind
the scenes, often acting through Transapient proxies. May sometimes do
things lower sentients find unpredictable or unsettling
