The following table is both an Earth history lesson and guideline to technical sophistication indexes used in fiction based in the Ring Realms and on this site. This should be useful for writers of science fiction and fantasy as the data provided (up to level 7 anyway) is historically and factually based. A fair amount of care was taken to be general in terms of time rather than culture. Some cultures made extraordinary advancements that simply weren't generally utilized until much later. This is true of many Asian artifices that weren't really utilized until the Europeans got a hold of them (and turned them into weapons).

NOTE: I am also integrating Kardashev classification into this level system. The Kardashev scheme has a much larger granularity:

  • Level 0    -- all tech levels that exist prior to complete utilization of a planet's resources. Levels 0-9 in the Realms tech level system.
  • Level I    -- a civilization that can utilize the entire energy output of a planet. This corresponds to level 10 on the Realms tech level chart.
  • Level II   -- a civilization that can utilize the entire energy output of a star. This corresponds to level 18 tech on the Realms scale.
  • Level III -- a civilization that can utilize the entire energy output of a galaxy. This level occurs around level 22 tech on the Realms scale.
  • Level IV   -- a civilization that can utilize the energy of an entire universe. Level 25-26 in Realms tech rating.

The Kriar race depicted in the stories and novels are considered a level III civilization on the Kardashev scale. The older Jyril are somewhere between III and IV. It's hard to visualize a race harnessing the entirety of a universe's total power. The first-ones and their artifact, Starholme Prime, were an attempt at this. The Eternals (The Protectorate) can draw on the near infinite potential of the cosmos, but have have no means of directly distributing or utilizing that power...


NOTES: This chart is a significant piece of work but it does have one major acknowledged fault. The fault is that it is based on linear next-step progression of technical accomplishments. Anyone who has even a fair knowledge of history and science will know that human civilization went centuries at a time without progressing and periodically experienced growth spurts where knowledge doubled and tripled in a short span of years. Even in the current day accidental discoveries leapfrog our technical accomplishments.

By this token, a race or culture might achieve way down the chart in one particular area, but still lag way back in other accomplishments. The different accomplishments listed in the chart are also based somewhat on a curve. At a certain point, a technology needs an important revelation in order to bypass a particular plateau, so the advancements get reduced to micro-step refinements.

Take particular note that my field of expertise is computer science. I would never claim to be a doctor or archeologist. My predictions in the advancement of biology and medical science are predicated on the idea that cybertechnology will continue to cross-over in its applications to genetic and cellular research.

Currently, this chart only has information up to level 17. Some of the biology/synthesis advances are missing above level 12. This is a result of me running out of steam and the speculator running out of gas. If you have ideas for contributions or corrections to this chart. Please email me or contact me in the forums. I would like to one day complete this chart from top to bottom.

TERMINOLOGY:
  • 2nd-3rd...Generation
    • Generational enhancements indicate a paradigimic shift in the manufacturing, cost, or function of a technology.
  • Advanced
    • Advanced means sophistication within the specific domain of a technology. Manufacturing and technical support of that domain is aged and refined.
  • Evolved
    • Evolved means logical next-step refinements within a specific domain of a technology. Manufacturing and technical support of that domain becomes commonplace-- (the technology is no longer "bleeding edge".)
  • Hardened
    • Hardened means that most of the paramenters of the domain of a technology have been explored and are now predictable and reliable to the point of being taken for granted. Diversification and cosmetic refinement have taken place. (In our society the standard telephone would be considered a hardened technology.)
  • Improved
    • Improved indicates small refinements within a specific domain of a technology. Manufacturing and technical support of that domain becomes more common. The technology is still being explored and refinement is still taking place.
  • Microstep
    • Only slight refinements have taken place. The technology may already be hardened or evolved, but has plateaued.
  • Reliability enhanced
    • Reliability enhanced means that the majority of a technical domain has been mastered. The focus of manufacture is to increase reliability, miniaturize, fool-proof and black-box the technology. Diversification and cosmetic refinement are beginning to take place.
  • Ubiquitous
    • The technology is commonplace and taken for granted as part of the societal infrastructure.
