Well you and I are both using "sentience" as a term of art. Danochy ostensibly was using it as used by pop culture sci fi. (Not sure where this traces back to, but Star Trek is a big factor in its use.) So, again, I don't think for this wiki it should be a massive problem if we went with it, as we reasonably expect people to be familiar with that convention even if they're also familiar with the term of art.

And I'm no qualia theorist myself, and probably a physicalist, it's an even Friday, yeah, I'm a physicalist today. Tomorrow I'm a neutral monist. But I don't think it's a fair characterization of qualia theories you've given there, some of them are physical. I mean. I think they're all nuts. But they exist.
