'''Sprites''' are a type of emergent intelligence, and are treated as sophonts (that is, sapient forms of life). They occur when systems grow to be complex enough, and refer specifically to unintentional creation of sophont-level intelligence. This may be an artifact of large, distributed systems such as portions of [[The Internet|Netspace]], or it may be an accident of design when a system is made more intelligent than originally intended. The latter are known as "Icarian sprites", in reference to the legend of Icarus. | '''Sprites''' are a type of emergent intelligence, and are treated as sophonts (that is, sapient forms of life).
