Utilitronium is relatively homogeneous matter optimized for maximum utility (like computronium is optimized for maximum computing power). For a paperclip maximizer, utilitronium is paperclips. For more complex values, no homogeneous organization of matter will have optimal utility.
Utilitronium shockwave is a process of converting all matter in the universe into utilitronium as quickly as possible, which would look like a shockwave of utilitronium spreading outwards from the point of origin, presumably nearly at the speed of light.

Discussion from the old wiki:
Talk:Utilitronium
“For a Classic Utilitarian, one of the most likely forms of Utilitronium is computronium that is being used to simulate minds experiencing the highest form of pleasure possible for a mind to experience.”
“classic utilitarian”? Sounds like hedonistic orgasmium. But more importantly, citation needed—original claims shouldn’t go to the wiki.
You’re right. I should have noticed that. For now I just deleted that sentence. Also, the articles “hedonium” and “orgasmium” redirect to this page. --PeerInfinity 02:57, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Also, please don’t leave clutter in the articles—even if an article is a stub, it should be a “release” version. If there is a comment to be made on an article, it can be made on the discussion page. --Vladimir Nesov 19:06, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
ok, I’ll remove the clutter. --PeerInfinity 02:57, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
