Do Orbs behave as SRPs?

Self-Replicating Probes and Fractal Trajectories

Simulations consistently show the orb phenomena behave as self-replicating probes; more specifically, the sightings of orbs ejecting orbs, and orbs coalescing into a single orb, match the expected behaviour for a self-replicating probe.



Freitas (1980) outlines the specifics of a SRP, estimating the mass of each component of the spacecraft, and the material the spacecraft would need to accumulate to be able to produce a copy of itself and provide fuel. They suggest that a spacecraft may capture comets and use atmospheric mining to acquire these materials. They state that in their minds there is “little doubt that such a machine can, in theory, be designed”.



With constant mortality, leading edge colonists don’t launch seeds until after local net growth rates start to slow down.

computational power has increased sufficiently to allow the creation of detailed simulations of probes exploring a sector of the Milky Way.
