French philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881–1955). described the omega point like this. The universe can advance to complexity and knowledge only if something pulls it to complexity and awareness. Without the need, the creature will not turn complex. Without the need for complexity, the creature remains simple.
So Teilhard might mean that all are aware, intelligent, and complex creatures. Somehow are always forced to be complex, aware, and intelligent. Without force, the creature will not reach complexity, awareness, and intelligence.
Teilhard doesn't mention the thing that forces the creature to be intelligent having awareness and complexity. Only creatures, that are complex themselves can make complex things.
So the thing that creates the knowledge and complexity could be natural without awareness, like a thunderstorm. Or it can be the genome researcher who has the goal to make something like new species or superhuman. When the researcher selects genomes that need that kind of thing, that person forces the subject.
Being complex and creating complex things. The creature needs energy. Energy forms in Teilhard's theory are:
1) "Tangential Energy": energy that physics can measure.
2) "Radial Energy": spiritual energy which accumulates into a higher state as time progresses. That means the will to make complex things.
Another way to think about omega-point is to follow the road of Frank Tipler. Tipler's model for omega point is the case when the universe or gravitation collapses. That thing means the ultimate end of the universe. The omega point means the ultimate end of the line.
The omega point might mean the ultimate end of the research and development. In all technologies is the end. The end is that there is no way to develop technology anymore. When we think about the singularization of technology and biology. We can think of the futuristic race that has robot bodies.
But those bodies are controlled by cloned neurons. That kind of hybrid robot can be more intelligent than humans. There is the possibility that all those robots are forming the entirety where those robots interact by using WLAN communication.
But are those things the ultimate end of the R&D process of robotics and technical evolution? There is a possibility that the hybridization with living neurons and quantum computers is even more powerful. In this model, the hypercomputer can be the brain that is under the cloche.
And then there is the cloud of superpositioned and entangled electrons around those brains. That makes it possible that the quantum system can communicate straight with the brain. The neural structure's electromagnetic fields interact with those superpositioned and entangled particle pairs.
Theoretically, the size of this kind of system has not limited. When we think about the intelligent universe theory or model the plasma clouds around the stars can turn into quantum computers. And then if there are some intelligent creatures that brain electricity can interact with that plasma, that thing can be the most intelligent creature in the universe.
