  Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Orders of magnitude   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Thus, an order of magnitude is an approximate position on a logarithmic scale.
An order of magnitude estimate of a variable whose precise value is unknown is an estimate rounded to the nearest power of ten.
For example, an order of magnitude estimate for a variable between about 3 billion and 30 billion (such as the human population of the Earth) is 10 billion.

Physically, temperature is a measure related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
It is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics and it is conjugate to entropy.
This average energy is independent of the mass because of the nature of a gas, all particles are in random motion with collisions with other gas molecules, solid objects that may be in the area and the container itself (if there is one).

 How long before superintelligence?
That is three orders of magnitude less than the upper bound calculated by assuming that there is no redundancy.
But if we can optimize away three orders of magnitude on speed by simulating 1000-neuron aggregates, we will probably be able to cut away at least one order of magnitude of the memory requirement.
This is two orders of magnitude greater than the estimate of neural-level simulation given in the original paper above, which assumes a cruder level of simulation of neurons.
