Oh, I think I could put the word "soul" to good use. It would take some finessing of course. I surely wouldn't imagine it being anything at all apart from the brain/organism of a living animal though. When it comes to the taxonomy of the self/mind we don't have a lot of terms to choose from. Perhaps we could salvage this one.
