My current idea is a gestalt intelligence which intends to study and uplift the gigaquadrant into its monoculture. This intelligence would simultaneously present itself to every faction in the gigaquadrant, and would fluidly mirror the responses given to it; a respectful decline would result in the faction being left in peace, whereas an aggressive or violent response would be met in kind. Furthermore, this monoculture would be open to study by those willing to be studied, giving each user freedom not only over whether or not to be involved, but also the extent to which they want to be involved.
