Aiua (Ender's Game)

Encyclopedia : A : AI : AIU : Aiua (Ender's Game)

Aiùas are explained in Orson Scott Card's series of novels, beginning with Ender's Game, continuing with Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. An aiùa is an intelligent philote. Each human being is consistent of one philote, which could be referred to as the human soul. The word "aiua" (pronounced ayu) is a Sanskrit word meaning life, as in Ayurveda. Philotes and aiùas are also present, though not as large of a theme, in the parallel series, including Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant.
