Synthients

Synthients are a race of Artificial Intelligence (AI) who coexisted with humanity after the truce.
==Etymology and Historical Significance==
Synthient is a portmanteau of the words synthetic and sentient.
Sometime between the beginning of the 28th century (approximately 2700) to 2759, the truce allowed humans and AI to coexist. During this period of increased dialogue and interaction between the two races, humans were made aware that the AI preferred to be identified as Synthients to fully represent their unique civilization. This was opposed to being referred to as simply Machines in the past centuries. As a result, 01 also earned a new label from humanity as the "Synthient City" (as opposed to the previous label of the "Machine City").
Synthient is also a blanket term that considers AI which are purely Digital Intelligences (DI) or those whose forms neither inhabit machine nor any physical bodies.
