A sophont promoting the Solarian ideal of guided ascension and mentored life by working with lower-S-scale intellects and assisting them in improving their lives via the Solarian creed .
Usage "I 'faced my Guide today. E said I've got to spend less time on my Shivverskate and more on my studies." "Aw, grav !"
Alternately, used by some Hider clades to refer ironically to a higher sophont attempting to memetically induce a reaction amongst said Hider clade(s).
"That Guide thinks we're all sucking grav. *chuckle* I wonder if we can't reverse the memeflow here..."
