Transhuman Terminology Sub-Page
This may not be the best possible neologism for this sort of entity, but I think it's a good idea on principle to generate neologisms. They are good for us and solidify our thinking.
Bruce Sterling, Speech at Lifelike Computer Characters '95
This page is based on the Lextropicon by Max More, and contains definitions and explanations of various neologisms, technical terms and transhumanist jargon (plus some terms from other areas commonly used).
