	In Response To: Re: Thoth's Origins and the Jjaro (Quantum) : The S'pht had concluded that sentience required cyber-organic symbiosis, but : that examination of the Pfhor led to suspicion that their own sentience : might be induced by the 'birthing operation' and that S'pht sentience had : been built by Yrro. Heretofore they had (somewhat contradictorily) assumed : that while their own sentience required machinations, it was also an : inherent faculty in their race. This leads me to question whether the : S'pht would consider Thoth to be sentient. I think that a species exposed : to a purely machine sentience might consider that biological components : weren't necessary and would be more likely to accept that their own : existence was unnatural. If cyber-organic sentience were the only kind : they know, the S'pht wouldn't see an AI like Thoth as a sentient entity. : On the missing Confound Delivery terminal page, Chris Geisel mentions that : the S'pht Royalty are failed Jrro, which implies that a successful Jrro : would be a cyber-organic existence. The possibility of a S'pht becoming a : Jrro supports the view that the Jrro aren't a race in biological terms but : a group that had transcended traditional sentience. What would a : successful Jrro have looked like? A Thoth-Durandal-type entity? Why did : the S'pht royalty failed Jrro, if the Jrro built the S'pht? The Jrro took : nonsentient biologicals, gave them sentience and made them servants, but : did not elevate them to their own level. I think they would have if it : were possible. S'pht myth has Yrro apologizing for having 'failed to : preserve you.' Perhaps a true Jrro needs to be built upon a biological : sentience. This is certainly an excellent theory. However, may I ask where the sources for your first proposal (that the S'pht had also assumed sentience to be an inherent faculty of their race) are? From what I saw in Terminal 2 of The Hard Stuff Rules..., it was never implied that the S'pht had made such an assumption. As for your second proposal, may I ask for a little more clarity as to what you're trying to imply here? In other words, are you saying that the Jjaro might actually be cyborgs, or are you suggesting that the Jjaro just couldn't be AIs, or what? Sorry if my response sounded a bit harsh, I just needed a little clarity as to what you were saying and where this was all coming from. Love and kisses, PerseusSpartacus
