It one of the reasons a lot of deep sea creatures look red when brought to the surface, the other being for defense. Color is based on light, and only certain ones reach that far.

> [@aah31415](#): > > gathered enough neurons in specific spots So we need to have a centralized nervous system for reaching Aware, or can a decentralized nervous system also work? Can we have organisms with multiple, small brain-like organs? ---

Most likely we can have either single-brains or multiple ganglia for reaching aware. About even less centralized nervous systems, I don’t know if they will make the cut. ---

The octopus has 9 brains. Its a question of what “size” is a brain, and would having multiple connected smaller brains count. I think at least 1 should be a certain size. ---

Multiple brain solution seen in octopuses seems viable as they apparently have the intelligence levels of dogs. ---

Yes, exactly, the second half of the former multicellular stage, which itself was reduced to the microscopic half now. ---

No matter what we can’t simulate microbes when the player is at the size of a person in-game. ---

From my knowledge, microbes are macroscopic in the quantum mechanics sense of the word. They have components like small proteins and DNA and electromagnetic motors (some bacteria go wild) that are quite quantum in scale, but given you can see them on a microscope with no uncertainty, they seem pretty macroscopic to me, at least as a whole.I think the definition we’re using is macroscopic as opposed to microscopic: too small to see without tools. ---

If we used the quantum macroscopic definition, we’d be in macroscopic since LUCA. ---
