Previously, we talked about a Type P civilization under the Information Mastery Scale. Today, we will be looking at a Type Q civilization and some of its defining characteristics!
According to Sagan, a Type Q civilization is one that processes 10^22 unique bits of information. So, if there were a galactic civilization of a million worlds, and if each of these worlds were characterized by a thousand times the information content of our terrestrial civilization, then that galactic civilization would be of Type Q. In other words, a Type Q civilization could be comparable to the Kardashev Type 3 under the assumption that the information content and the energy content of a civilization have a positive correlation of course.
