His work with Gary on SENTIENCE highlights the close musical rapport the two have had since their Princeton days. Bassist Dan Krimm cites Jaco Pastorius as a prime influence and that is evident from the opening bars of "Golden Bisque."

Decision rendering under duress is a process which has been studied in great detail, particularly in very large scale synthetic environment simulations developed for the military. Concepts which were once considered to be strictly confined to the wispy realms of science fiction are being translated into functional hardware and software components, which in turn are destined to become the "organistic subcomponents" of the global internet organism. http://www.biota.org/ostman/sent2.htm   (1885 words)      RA: Resident Advisor - Nick Sentience tours Australia - Australian News The hard dance scene doesn’t have many names bigger than Nick Sentience and he is all set to return to Australia to promote his debut artist album Universal Language.

This page was last modified 06:14, 21 December 2005.

Various further versions of panpsychism are possible too, all sharing the claimed advantage of conceiving the mind-brain relation as a relation between things which are of the same generic kind. Many things, such as sticks and stones, made of these ultimate units are not so. http://members.aol.com/NeoNoetics/PANPSYCHISM.html   (1742 words)      Sentience: The next moral dilemma Pt II - ZDNet UK News Asked if it would matter whether she were bipedal or a sentient house, Grand laughs, but acknowledges that "we are incredibly anthropomorphic, aren't we?".

This article could probably be made more complete should you wish to do so. However, sentience is often equated to sapience or equated to "having consciousness"; i.e., saying that something is sentient indicates that it is aware in an approximately human-like manner of what it is sensing. http://www.wikinfo.org/wiki.php?title=Sentience   (271 words)      Talk:Sentience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia But then (too) many things can be described as sentient.

Although it is not clear how the distinction between sensory and non-sensory phenomenology should be drawn, by invoking it Clark could at least respect the point there is some phenomenology to seeing moving objects. First, what it is for a sentient being to sense is for it to employ two distinct capacities: one for representing places-at-times; the other for representing "features" (60, cf. http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~ssiegel/papers/Clark.html   (1113 words)      CIWF Trust - From Darwin to Dawkins Her experience in living with chimpanzees for so long had given her a unique insight into their feelings, and had provided her with a way to “read” them.

Every since John von Neumann came up with the notion of a Universal Computer and Universal Constructor for self-replication in the 1940s (before the notion of a "gene" was discovered!), I've been fascinated by the issue of self-replication. In other words, I believe the reason why we have the complex brains we have today with all its abilities is so we can make a statement about performing genetic engineering on ourselves. http://www.ram.org/ramblings/science/self.html   (685 words)      Charles Ostman - Sentience on Demand, as an Online Commodity This is where the boundary of emotional sentience begins to form.

This least level of sentience is confined to awareness of environment, it may not include awareness of self, and it certainly doesn't include either need or the means to gratify those needs.
