When science gets stranger than fiction. The description of the Astrazoan they resemble a radially symmetrical starfish with seven limbs. Previously sea stars were thought to be headless but recent research suggests it's the other way around, "far from being headless, over evolutionary time sea stars lost their bodies to become only heads." So Astrazoan might be a lot like Contemplatives.
Long presumed to have no heads at all, starfish may be nothing but.
One central head/body with 7 manipulative/sensory organs? Maybe the "limbs" combine the functionality of antennae (smell, touch) and tentacles, plus contain hearing organs as well as eyes...
