Hi, a timeline question, and some math about encryption
#13
Another quick thought re modos matching transapients in the encryption dept by simply building up enough computronium:

It should be noted that transapient computronium is qualitatively superior to modosophont computronium, and at the S4 and higher level starts operating at levels that would tear apart processors held together by chemical bonds - so modos are literally incapable of building it. Transapients also presumably employ better/more efficient software design to go with better hardware, making the gap between their tech and modo even larger.

I suppose that modos could (in principle) still build massive amounts of computronium to make up the difference. But I'm not sure how much they would have to build to make up the difference.
