Perhaps we should go by what sentience means. To feel. A being that feels. To feel is to respond to a vibration in some way. That is to say, anything that has a signal is sentient in some way.
Surprised so little public forth's implement it.
I, too, have been mulling this. Word to word, paragraph to paragraph. Even letter to letter.
Also what if you processed text in signal space? I keep wondering if that’s possible. Then you get it all at once rather than windows. Use a derivative of change for every page, so the phase space is the signal end to end.
Overall visual perception is about noticing comparative differences not measuring absolute quantity.
