Hider and Semperist term of abuse for sophonts dependent on higher toposophic minds. At one time, a term of respect used by SI:>1 intellects for SI:<1 sentiences which lived and/or worked with the SI:>1. These beings were interfaces between the SI:>1 and the surrounding lower S-level culture, allowing for a smooth transfer of resources to the transapient being as needed for minimal transapient effort. Apparently pre-Technocalypse in coining, the term has since taken on a much less beneficent meaning. It is now a pejorative for any being who maintains regular interaction with a higher S-level being in most Hider clades as well as some subcultures in the NoCoZo.Culture and Society > Cultural Factors > Socio-Ecological Categories
