Self-replication, emergence, evolution, self-evolution, and sentience (685 words)
Sentience is a by-product of the complexity required for the ability to self-evolve.
To self-evolve, there must be some sort of sentience or self-awareness (in other words, there must be a "direction" that is present that tells an organism its status in relation to its environment).
Sentience is a by-product of (the complexity required for) the trait of self-evolution.
Encyclopedia: Sentience (1270 words)
Sentience is the capacity for basic consciousness—the ability to feel or perceive, not necessarily including the faculty of self-awareness.
The word sentient is often confused with the word sapient, which can connotate knowledge, higher consciousness, or apperception.
Many scientists today consider sentience to be exclusive to homo-sapiens.This may be due to many religions that see the human being as the central creation of god, and thus the only creature capable of "truly thinking" (create art, use tools, invent things, etc..), and by the concept of sentience coming from a soul.
