So.. The idea is to have IQ that variates based on the complexity of the computer that an AI/Upload is currently running on.

So, for example, normally an AI could run on a complexity 5 computer with 10 IQ. However, if allowed, it could leap onto a large complexity 7 mainframe and raise it's IQ to 14. If it needed to hide, it could compact itself into a small complexity 3 computer, reducing it's IQ to 6.

I'm just not entirely certain how to stat this up, however. IQ bought with limitations?
