:Experiments: Ask a Bubble Doll if xe's sentient. Ask Sosael about the Virus' history, if she's coherent. Keep in mind that she lies.
:Experiments: Ask a Bubble Doll if xe's sentient. Ask Sosael about the Virus' history, if she's coherent. Keep in mind that she lies.
::The question to ask about the Dolls is which parts of their minds are "missing." Is the typical Bubble Doll incapable of abstract reasoning? Of learning? Of planning future scenarios and anticipating results? Of being aware they exist? Of maintaining a continuous sense of identity? Of choosing between alternatives? The last three are quite shaky, although Theeka has shown signs of all three, and it seems so has Jini. In a normal organic being, in which part of the brain would the missing functions be located? Would they be cerebral, like will and self-awareness, or merely glandular, like anger and stress?
:::From the depths of the Puzzle: "Such delightful arrogance. All Sentients, look forward to <3ofaDog's artwar of these concepts of Missing and Normal."
