In the first part, we talked about some of the variables that I think could control the observables of a Bracewell Probe. This is essentially a first, crude move toward mapping our ignorance of these hypothetical machines. We can't know what Bracewell probes are yet, or even if they exist at all, but perhaps we can constrain or at least make some reasonable assumptions about what they could be.
