Last time, we talked about a Type J civilization under the Information Mastery Scale. Today, we will be looking at a Type K civilization and some of its defining characteristics!
According to Sagan, a Type K civilization is one that processes 10^16 unique bits of information. With this amount of unique information availability, a Type K would be at least a millennium to several millenniums more advanced than our civilization today. Similar to a Type J, Sagan viewed a Type K civilization as one that would have already mastered the dynamics of interstellar travel, thus, making it one that would also have had contact with extraterrestrial lifeforms within its universe.
