Interesting, I like the idea. FWIW, I wouldn’t spend too much time predicting the values of superrational ETs and the characteristics of their civilizations. It appears to be too difficult to be accurate with a significant level of detail, and requires inference from a sample size of one (humans and evolution on Earth). I recommend punting to the FAI for this part.

Or alternately, one could indeed spend time on it, but be careful to remain aware of one’s uncertainty.
