“ G2 now has the ability to consider proportions when determining the best way to count things … evolving counting methods in real-time, without external influence (humans). There is a big difference between zero, one, two, three, etc. But at some point why take the effort to increment a counter from 4,090,223 to 4,090,224? Why is this important? Imagine how much attention it would take if you had to keep an exact count of everything you had ever seen. What a waste. In the interest of saving its energy for more important tasks, G2 starts using orders of magnitude to optimize its resources. Of course, G2 can be told to keep exact counts (despite scale); if an exact count is needed from time to time, G2 will count them, one-by-one. „
