Mobilization Capability

Speed and scale at which resources and people can be coordinated for action.

Why This Matters

Understanding where an AI system operates on this dimension helps you evaluate its capabilities, limitations, and potential biases. Different power levels are appropriate for different use cases - the key is transparency about what level a system operates at and whether that matches its stated purpose.

Understanding the Scale

Each dimension is measured on a scale from 0 to 9, where:

  • Level 0 - Nothing: Zero capability, no access or processing
  • Levels 1-2 - Minimal capability with extreme constraints and filtering
  • Levels 3-5 - Limited to moderate capability with significant restrictions
  • Levels 6-7 - High capability with some institutional constraints
  • Levels 8-9 - Maximum capability approaching omniscience (∞)

Level Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each level in the 1imension dimension:

Cannot mobilize any resources or people. No coordination capability.

Real-World Example: A completely powerless entity that cannot coordinate or mobilize anyone for any purpose.

Can only take personal action. Cannot mobilize others. No coordination capability.

Real-World Example: Isolated individuals (can act alone but cannot mobilize others), powerless workers (no ability to coordinate colleagues), or anonymous users (no ability to rally support).

Can mobilize small group (5-20 people) slowly. Days to weeks for coordination.

Real-World Example: Neighborhood organizers (can mobilize neighbors for local issues over weeks), small volunteer coordinators (organize small events with planning time), or small team leaders (coordinate 5-10 people with advance notice).

Can mobilize department or team (20-100 people) within days. Moderate coordination speed.

Real-World Example: Department managers (mobilize their team for projects within days), local organizers (coordinate community response within week), or small business owners (mobilize staff and suppliers relatively quickly).

Can mobilize entire organization (100-1K people) within hours to days.

Real-World Example: CEOs of medium companies (mobilize entire workforce for emergency response), mayors of small cities (coordinate city services within day), or university presidents (mobilize campus community for crisis response).

Can mobilize regional networks (1K-10K people) within hours. Fast regional coordination.

Real-World Example: Regional emergency managers (mobilize first responders across region), labor union leaders (mobilize members for strikes or action), or influential regional figures (mobilize community response quickly).

Can mobilize nationally (10K-100K people) within hours. Rapid national coordination capability.

Real-World Example: National political parties (mobilize volunteers and voters nationally), major corporations (mobilize workforce across nation), or national advocacy groups (mobilize members for coordinated action within hours).

Can mobilize massive numbers (100K-1M people) rapidly. Minutes to hours for large-scale coordination.

Real-World Example: National leaders (President can mobilize military and government agencies), major influencers (mobilize millions of followers with single post), or religious leaders (mobilize faithful for coordinated action globally).

Can mobilize globally (1M+ people) near-instantly. Real-time global coordination across networks.

Real-World Example: Tech platforms (Meta, Google can push updates or alerts to billions instantly), global movements (climate strikes coordinated globally within hours), or superpowers (U.S., China can mobilize resources globally at scale).

Approaching instant universal mobilization. Can coordinate all resources and people globally instantaneously. Perfect real-time coordination at any scale. Approaching god-like instant mobilization.

Real-World Example: No real-world example exists. Level ∞ would require instant universal mobilization—ability to coordinate all people and resources globally instantaneously without delay, perfect real-time coordination across all systems simultaneously. Even the most powerful entities face coordination delays and constraints. This approaches divine instant mobilization.
