Sentispace

A sentispace (shorthand for sentient headspace) is a headspace that is alive. It may respond to headmates' requests and be able to perform specific headmate roles by itself, like landscaping, terraforming, creating ephemeral NPCs, or even leading new splits or walk-ins to gatekeepers. 
Sentispaces may have both verbal and non-verbal ways of communicating with specific groups of, or all, headmates.
==Subterms==
Many type of sentient headspaces exist. Here is a list of subterms that have been coined:
* A variaspace is a sentispace that was once empty and then started to constantly change its locations and appearance after a system formed in it.
* A regulator is an umbrella term to describe sentient headspaces who are able to regulate their own headspace(s) through specific abilities. There are many subterms for this roles (e.g, spawn-regulator, space-architect, protective sentispace, space-soother, summoner, etc).
* A canvaspace is a sentispace whose purpose is to be artistic. It has two modalities: either it is an inactive blank canvas (blankspace), or it is an active work in progress (artfulspace).
* A mimic-space is a sentispace that changes the way it appears to imitate another headspace that exists/has existed. Similarly, a substitute-space is a sentispace whose role is to act in place of another headspace(s), meaning that they temporarily/permanently copy or act in place for them.
==Related Terms==
A sentient structure refers to a headspace where only parts of it are sentient (instead of the entire headspace).
See sentient headspace terms for more related terms.
==History==
The term and its flag were coined by Tumblr user solsticesalon (Reminiscent).https://at.tumblr.com/r3miniscentt/sentispace/lnttlrwspjx8
The first subterms and their flags were coined by Pluralpedia user Oceanic-Lanterns. They integrated as much as possible of the original flag of solsticesalon in the background of their term flags. This way, their terms are also subterms in their flags.

File:Sentispace flag luminescent.jpg|alt=The flag for the sentispace label. The base color of the flag is a dark, somewhat desaturated blue. In the middle of the flag is a large diamond, slightly lighter in color than the base of the flag, with a somewhat smaller diamond in the middle of the previous diamond in the base color, with a lavender-colored outline of a smaller diamond in the middle.|Sentispace flag, by the Sentispace coiner Reminiscent/r3miniscentt.
File:Variaspace flag.png|alt=The variaspace flag is largely inspired from the Sentispace flag. It has been modified: the black parts refer to the "empty" beginnings of the variaspace, the coloured parts refer to the activity it's been leading once the space was not empty anymore, and the spiral-like motion refer to the constant change of appearance/locations.|Variaspace flag, by Oceanic-Lanterns, very inspired from the Sentispace flag.
File:Canvaspace by Oceanic-Lanterns.png|alt=The Sentispace flag is in the background, it's blueish colors have been modified to become almost exclusively white (in the middle of the rectangle, there is a large diamond, slightly lighter in color than the base of the flag, it has only a stroke and not much fill; and inside it, there is smaller diamond with the same properties). Above it, two trails of light grey smoke are converging to the center in a spiral-like motion, where there are watercolor splashes (colored but with low contrast).|The Canvaspace flag (Artfulspace modality), by Oceanic-Lanterns.

File:Regulator by Oceanic-Lanterns.png|alt=The flag is a blackish rectangle which is cut by a huge diamond-shape. Inside there are 7 horizontal layers divided in three parts. The first and third are straight brown lines, and the center are 2 wavy grey lines. In the middle of the central line (the 4th), there is a shape that looks like an eye, almost undetected because it is in light grey as well.|Regulator flag, by Oceanic-Lanterns.
File:Spawn-Regulator by Oceanic-Lanterns.png|alt=The flag is a rectangle (2 blackish corners, and 2 dark-blue corners with electronics elements), which is cut by a huge diamond-shape. Inside there are 7 horizontal layers divided in three parts. The first and third are straight brown lines, and the center are 2 wavy grey lines. In the middle of the central line (the 4th), there is a shape that looks like a portal, giving life to a human-like silhouette: a NPC.|Spawn-Regulator flag, by Oceanic-Lanterns.
