How to get Synaptic Cogitator
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 30) and its weight modifiers. Tier 5 opens after 6 tier 4 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.
It needs no other technology.
In the game
Calculating hyperspatial supply chains is complex. Rerouting some processing power to the task will help even the largest fleet to delve deeper into enemy territory.
