Re: "Real" ringworlds
Complexity does not mean intelligence. But then what is? Computers can do math faster, store more data, but are they inteligent? Where in the animal world do you draw the line? are dolphins/whales smart? What about apes/monkeys?
This is getting rather Zen. Or maybe it isnt because it doesnt exist? Who am I, Am I Me? Since this entire thread is mearly an imterpretation of an arangement of magnetic feilds and electrons, does it exist?

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, I could conquer the world.
