The thing about "when one dies, the others learn" is also hinted in the detron crewman lore from simaris. I believe we witness the first sentients there. It would also explain how lotus is related to the weird looking lotus in the natah quest.

Pretty sure it refers to the incredible adaptation skills of the sentient, that get "barren" when crossing the void. If one gets shot it dies and splits into 2, the copies being more resilent to the type of damage it suffered before. The void however, seems to take the ability to copy themselfes away.
