In case anyone downmodded this for using the term "Shock Level 5", I agree that some of the broad or specific implications of the Tegmark Level 4 Multiverse can be called Shock Level 5.

I have just tended to think of this as being how SL4 looks when you have digested it and are no longer shocked. Really though, I just think its a slightly good social rule to avoid creating self-aggrandizing terminology.
