But really, what's the difference between a Rank 2 and Rank 3 and Rank 1? Rank 3 = capable of critical thinking + will? Rank 2 = capable of critical thinking; Rank 1 = no critical thinking? Does it mean that an octopus would be Rank 2?  |
As i understand it there using the Animal Sentience Level Rank. it is a kind of measuring units used to measure the sentience level of a species as whole
Rank 1: Are Species which follow basic Natural instincts..Eating, sleeping ,,, breeding etc...
Rank 2: Are Species which have semi-sentience capabilities...meaning while at there nature they are still following basic natural instincts....they have enough self aware of there surronding to adapt and improvise ideas...creativity and limited communication and thinking skills......Genius are considered rank 2 cause while they have enough to intelligence to adapt and think outside of the box...they are still bound to there very basic nature of there existence...which is to gather empathium rather than think indipendatly and individually..
Rank 3: Are Species which have overcome there basic instincts and natural way of life in such a way that they are able to change and adapt there surrounding for their own needs rather for what nature needs....humans are ranked in this level cause we have different ideas....individuality.....Ability to mold and shape nature itself...to suit us....but act illogically.....act differently rather what we should nature....face fear when we run.....help others and risk our life's even when it is insane....create ideas that are new and that go beyond what was expected before....all of things which very discard natural in-stinks as a whole
There is also a hypothetical Rank 4: which is the ranking of species that goes beyond what we define as natural sentience....such as hypothetically....Dimensional...non corporeal.....Elemental.....etc...forms of life or any other sentience we yourself don't know...but it is hypothetical
