Is it independantly sentient, or is it highly limited in its programming with only apparent sentience due to the parameters it opperates under (like a golem)? I know its likely we won't come up with actual answers, but I'd like to hear from others and see what they think... and we might be able to get some ideas together for hammering out how things work.

That sounds like waaaaaay to much using your thinking brain to work through our squishy, lazer-eyed problems. Imagine that we have the mental capacity of a cat. Enough autonomy to make humans think we are intelligent yet at the same time very instinct driven.

In our current situation what we are doing is failing at hunting. We have the most awesome ability to consciously acquire evolutionary adaptations at will. Our biggest hold-up is the conference in our mind that is interfering with our focus.

Decisions for the here and now are as follows:
-Herbivore, Carnivore, Omnivore, or at the very least, Predator or Prey? We need to pick one and stick with it. We need to settle on a frame of mind and work our evolutions to fit the mold.
-Fight or flee? The Dweller is not going to go away. We can either fight it now or spend our time running from it. We need to establish the food chain of this little hole and I want us to be on top.
