There are many ways to measure the development of a civilization. The Kardashev scale, for instance, measures what portion of its home system a civilization is capable of exploiting. This is definitely capable of measuring the relative level of a society’s technological development, of course, but it tells very little about how it’s gotten there. The path it took, the things it prioritized, remain invisible. The Kardashev scale is traditionally a three-point scale (though many have extended it); our proposal has four. These four need not be acquired in order, though we will present them in the order our own civilization achieved them.
