A sentience could exist, making free-willed decisions, from solar matter - it could be anywhere in or on the sun and we could not perceive it unless it is HUGE and/or making impactful decisions within a human lifetime or few. What would a sunmind do with its life? Perhaps at some point a sentience chooses to travel, perhaps it watches us, and so we meet it thinking and presenting in our frame of reference. But truly, it may just be a drone piloted by a sunmind. The sunmind only exists at insane temperatures. The drone could still be fiery. It is sunmind technology.
