The Lady of Pain, a unkillable godlike entity that can flay the skin off a man with her shadow, teleport you into the sun on a whim or trap you in an interdimensional realm, visits /his/ and decrees to you via one of her mediums the follow edicts:
>None shall worship me
>there will be only 15 philosophical schools in /his/ or the lady of pain will get rid of all of them
>you must arrange amongst yourselves, which 15 those are
>each of the 15 must be able to carry out a single significant function of a small city state e.g. burying the dead, running prisons/gallows, hospitals, policing the city, running courts, manufacturing, arts, public entertainment, waste disposal, etc, and any function one philosophical school handles cannot be handled by another
So what happens /his/? Who are the 15, and what does each do within the city state of /his/?

Sensates did not perform any function in Sigil

They were (or were patrons for) entertainers and intellectuals
They created and maintained culture
Similar to what universities do irl

basically Xaoisects, Sensates and godsmen were each an aspect of the artsy end of sigil - Xaosects tended to be more about abstract, boundary pushing avant garde art, sensates were big on infotainment and performing arts etc... while the Godsmen were focused on more practical works of artisanal art.
On top of that the sensate's festhall functioned as a mix of the circus maximus and the Ukiyo red light distrct of 17th century Edo, japan; It was the biggest center of entertainment in Sigil.
