Would the smaller planets have to be clones?

  I don't see why. They could do small rocky planets, even take commissions from special customers. But I was hoping to hear more about your idea.

    Clearly..you have mistaken me for someone who is smart. Like this guy’s bit on planetary brains...The ‘Jupiter Brain’ https://youtu.be/Rmb1tNEGwmo https://youtu.be/Rmb1tNEGwmo .. But why stretch it that far..why not make Jupiter itself a computer. Who are we to imagine that intelligent life has to resemble Homo sapiens? In Indian astrology, Jupiter is teacher..the keeper and distributor of all kinds of wisdom. Venus is his colleague and peer..Venus is also a teacher but while Jupiter is guru of the gods..Venus is the guru of the demons. They could be planetary computers running earth simulations. Just saying. If astral energy and planets can affect our lives and this can be seen through our horoscopes based on the time and place of our birth, we could all just be snippets of code. Distributed processing between 5 planets, sun, moon and the two (imaginary) lunar nodes. That’s what I want to believe.

      I really like this idea and would encourage you to pursue it, perhaps in a fictional context. You don't need to have all the answers to produce good science fiction, just a willingness to explore what the implications of something might be. You could also explore the idea from the perspective of people who believe in astrology but have not yet been conditioned to think of a computer as an everyday object.
