[The last event left Cheyenne in a weird place and since then, she's been rather scarce around the village. Aside from getting food at one of the village restaurants, she's spent most of her time either in her apartment or in the forests just outside the village.

Simply living is enough for one to be considered a person?

Unless your definition of a person includes things such as trees and flowers, I would imagine so.

[deja vu I guess....or human-things just really like these kinds of questions?]

If it understands that it exists, it is a person.

To love, or be capable of such.

By that definition, a creature incapable of expressing or feeling love would not be a person, yes?

That depends on how broad you'd allow that definition to be. If it is a creature of hatred, then no, it is not a person. If it is capable of affection at the very least, then yes, it is. If it is simply incapable of any emotion ... [ ... ] ... Then I am not sure. It depends on the creature and its mannerisms.

It seems to be a rather complicated concept. I had not expected to receive such varied replies.

[That's... actually a strangely interesting question.]

Searching database for the meaning of "person"...

[There's a brief pause after she says this.]

...Search complete. The meaning of "person"... A being displaying human-like behavior or a self-conscious or rational being.

[She really is just reciting that from her database, but... well, it is the definition she's familiar with.]

So there is a connection between being human and being a person?

[There's a pause before she answers. She has the definition of the term in her database, but not its origin. But based of what information she has, she can at least try to respond.]

Human behavior is... considered a standard for being a person. [If you go by the first definition, that is. This doesn't necessarily apply to the other one - which is why she isn't outright confirming or denying the existence of a connection.]

I see. That is not very different from what I have been thinking.

Does it matter?

[voice] mmmfilletofsoul May 17 2011, 20:45:32 UTC
I doesn't suppose it does, no. I was simply curious to hear what sort of answers I would receive.

Why are you asking?

[voice] mmmfilletofsoul May 17 2011, 21:03:02 UTC
It has been on my mind since the end of the most recent experiment. [...]

Is it safe to assume you had been changed by it as well?
