Sentience - A grouping of types of perception
________
It's important now to recognize that nowhere in the concept of sentience is there a mention of mind, intelligence, or self-awareness.
In fact, much of what we perceive is irreducibly complex, as our emotions cannot be broken up into their constituent chemicals nor our music into its disparate vibrations while still maintaining meaning.
