Can you describe how this might occur, for individuals to achieve their own
singularity? My understanding of the Vinge-ian apotheosis is similar to a
catastrophic event, or at least, a centralized event. How would your
individual singularity come to be?

<<Big Swell: different from Hard and Soft Takeoffs, the Big Swell assumes
that every individual follows their own individual path to the
singularity, based on their own abilities, skills, intelligence, and
economic means (as well as the society they live in), such that the
number of individuals transcending at any given time follows roughly a
bell curve from the beginning of the singularity period to the end.>>
