Can we perhaps come up with some better names than "Type 1" and "Type 2"? Those aren't suggestive at all.

He uses "Autonomous" for Type 1. "Conscious" might work for Type 2.

You threw in an "Autonomous" instead of "Type 1" in the middle there. Apart from being a lousy name (just don't think the association is at all right) it made me assume that you were introducing a new type. Particularly because the previous sentence said you were moving to a 3-type classification!

Of course, if we think it's exhaustive, we can just name one and call the other "non-" that...
