The lesser constructs continue to exhibit multiple emergent traits. Do they have true consciousness, or is it just a desire to interact with their environment? Creating true sentience from "nothing" should not be possible. Even the Priests and the Red City Wizards are lattice-based constructs, grown from the recently deceased.
Although it has always been assumed that the sentience they exhibit is carried over from their previous existence, is it possible that too has been manifested rather than reclaimed?
