Revision as of 19:22, January 21, 2012

I made this article so people who have played the game series who do not understand what sentient means so they can look here and understand it.

The realworld part: I dont think the realworld part is needed because there is wide discussion within games that revolve around sentient beings and their relation to the flood and the halo array, so with respect im going to remove it. - Skene4kaos, my actual gamertag is Scene4kaos

Wrong def. of sentient...

Sentient means being consciousness, being able to precive. The term this arcticle is reffering to is sapience. Jabberwock xeno 23:22, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Proposal: Move to "Sapience"

Jabberwock xeno's comment is almost celebrating its second birthday, but it raises a legitinmate point - we're perpetuating the wrong definition of "sentient". I propose that we rename the article "sapience", and clarify the distinction between sentience and sapience.
