> At what point does abstraction and reasoning turn into "sentient understanding"?
This is a loaded question, you're assuming that abstraction and reasoning can somehow magically "turn into" sentience, whereas I posit that those two things are completely different. You can have sentience without reasoning (i.e. pure non-judgemental awareness that is the goal of Buddhist meditation), and vice-versa.
