Yeah, that's one way of looking at it. Then again, I always kinda went with the notion that in a living being, the Positive and Negative energy are in balance, waxing and waning during their lifespan (the anabolic and catabolic processes respectively), while an Undead and/or Deathless are simply beings of purely polar identity.
That opens a whole new can of worms (Can I Turn Undead old people?), but at least pretends to make sense.

Yeah, the Deathless would basically use just enough Positive energy to move around and think. Ditto for the undead. How there are mindless undead but no mindless Deathless and why the undead are ALSO sentient sometimes... That's something to think about.
