sentient agent
A SentientAgent is an AutonomousAgent that is capable of Perception and experiences some level of consciousness (see ConsciousnessAttribute). If the AutonomousAgent is able to reason at a comparatively high level (evinced by the ability to learn, plan, and feel emotions), then it is also an instance of CognitiveAgent. A DomesticAnimal is a SentientAgent, but may or may not be a CognitiveAgent, depending on the type of Animal.
