Presapients





Presapients - Data Panel

Definition: Toposophic Grade

Toposophic:
S^0/S^1 borderline (Forad scale)
0 (TRHN System
~SI:0 (Berram7 scale)
~G0.0 to G0.2 (Berram 10G Scale)
TU:0 (Turingsen-Bichip-Hursch210 Hyperturing Scale
So: near 1 (Ken Ferjik (Jorgan34-Farroncyborghu-Beiont-Mind723) Linear Sophonce Scale

Phyla: include higher terragen and xeno animals both baseline and augmented, neogens, biobots, some madverts, plants provolves, bots, some alife, many simms, agents, some expert systems, etc

Origin: Terragen, Xenobiont

Ascended From: Subsapients

Maximum Unaided Tech Level: very basic Prim

Distribution: ubiquitous, but generally most common in specific areas - e.g. the Utopia Sphere and (for some preturing ai) parts of the Diamond Network

Status: Full Citizenship in some Utopia Sphere and other polities. Presophont Sentient Rights in most other sephirotics and other developed polities forbid mistreatment or painful exploitation.

Environmental Requirements: Depends on body and environment

Body: May be organic, cyborg, ai, xeno, or any combination.

Chronometric: varies, generally in the range of baseline time and information processing

Further Comments: Presapients may be organic, cyborg, ai, vir, robot, terragen, or xeno. All are considered sentient, and are at the borderline of full sapience and sophonce (i.e. they have limited self-awareness and some problem solving abilities and other marks of intelligence).


Neo-Dogs - the early history of the Neo-Dog provolves

Ape - Apes are Terragen primates that anatomically resemble and are closely related to humans.

Monkey - common term, used indiscriminately for two groups of mid-sized Old Earth primates that were not humans, other apes, or prosimians though they were not otherwise closely related

Design notes - Added to fill the gap between subsapient and full sophont. Presapients are the same as "presentients" in GURPS
