The Flood are capable of inheriting the memories of their host. Which would mean that the Flood form, is resonably sentient (self-aware and intelligent). Gravemind is a larger mass of hosts. Therefore, the sum of Graveminds intelligence is the product of each host absorbed. Furthermore, Gravemind would then inhereit several, possibly conflicting intelligances, memories, etc. Something, has to govern all this intelligance, I believe from this neccesity, comes the soverign intelligance of the Flood, what we know as Gravemind. This is just speculation based on minimal data deduction, though. Who knows, I am sure light will be shed on that.
Yes but this intelligence would make them sentient. the flood are not intelligent enough to be sentient but gravemind IS sentient, and the flood is NOT. Something is not right. What makes gravemind sentient and the flood not. your theory purposes an answer to this. like I said in OP many doors.
I see what you are saying. Like I said though, the Flood inhereit the memories of their host, so each Flood Infection Form, would have sentients based on the self-awareness attained from the the host it has infected. If all the Flood work the same way, then it wouldn't be awkward to think that the Flood Infection Forms have a governing Will or presence to use the information asertained from the host, therefore a type of "stupid-sentients".
