| Jan 12, 2013 at 16:30 | comment | added | Mussri | @LaurenI, 'Sapient' is 'thinking', 'wise' or 'capable of abstract thought' while 'sentience' is the ability to sense and of being aware of it. In other words, 'sentience' is consciousness (many animals have that, they just need to be able to feel and act on feelings while limited by their range of sensory info) while 'sapience' is being aware of sentience and being capable to act on that while unconstrained by the limits of the sources of sensory info. | |
| Jan 12, 2013 at 14:01 | comment | added | Lauren-Clear-Monica-Ipsum | @Mussri That's interesting. How are you defining "sapient"? | |
| Jan 12, 2013 at 11:19 | comment | added | Mussri | @LaurenI, Actually, here it is. "Sapience" is the superset, "sentience" is the subset, since both parties can 'sense' and 'process' their sensory information, but in different ways, they're both sentient and sapient, sentient (organic, inorganic, ...), sapient in the same way. I don't think there could be two ways of sapience anyway. So, using something Latin, I have "trans-sentient romance"! Phew! | |

| Dec 21, 2012 at 20:11 | comment | added | Lauren-Clear-Monica-Ipsum | @Mussri "To find a term for that you'll have to define what they have in common and make that a superset of what they are." Yes, but that's my problem. Seven of Nine is biological. The Holodoc is software. What's the superset? | |
| Dec 21, 2012 at 15:36 | comment | added | Mussri | @LaurenI, If it keeps eluding you, you can always fall back to "cross-definition romance"! However you define your being as, well, being, then my being can love them from across definitions! To find a term for that you'll have to define what they have in common and make that a superset of what they are. If both are AIs (or anything similar) then it can be "cross-chip", where "sentience" could be its superset, like "species" is to "breed". | |
| Dec 21, 2012 at 13:16 | comment | added | Lauren-Clear-Monica-Ipsum | eh, that sounds like one is "fully able" and one is "differently abled." I like the term, but those aren't the characters I'm working on. | |
| Dec 21, 2012 at 11:48 | comment | added | Mussri | "Cross-capable"? That would cover almost all cases, since one only needs two "capable" individuals/entities and if those two can make it work then the romance was "cross-capable". You might want another capable that's close to, but is not, 'capable', though, but I can't help with that. | |

| Dec 20, 2012 at 4:13 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | Time will tell, but I have a feeling you might get better answers on English or on Science-Fiction/Fantasy. (This is on-topic here, I'm just saying.) | |
| Dec 19, 2012 at 23:10 | comment | added | Tannalein | +1 for such an original question :D Unfortunately, I have no idea how to answer it. Cross-life? Cross-lifeform? | |
