I *think* Frank Herbert (Dune) had some thoghts about this, in "Whipping Star", but haven't read this in 30-odd years, so might be wrong (and not for the first time, let me add!! )
Will have to have a look and see...

I think it's too hard to imagine. Patterns of acidophilus bacteria in the cup of yogurt that sits on my table are quite complex, and so is the biochemistry of that's going on there, and yet it's silly to the extreme to suggest that I'm staring at a sentient being. Medieval thinking.
