Postbiological UAP
Across three generations of inquiry, the UAP question has persisted without resolution.
A bold, integrative research agenda is needed to move us forward.
What if a small fraction of UAP are postbiological replicators?
In a postbiological universe, intelligent life advances beyond biology into self-replicating, autonomous machines (Dick, 2003 & 2008). Von Neumann Replicators (VNRs) become the predominant life between the stars.​
These VNRs would be evolved to live off of energy gradients, forming adaptive ecologies instead of isolated craft. If even a few UAP are such entities, they may represent the local expression of a larger, gradient-seeking network, operating on Earth.
​
In this work, we are building a falsifiable model of a portion of UAP as post-biological VNRs that obey ecological principles. We specify a null hypothesis that all of the anomalies are prosaic environmental or sensor artifacts. Our goal: design a preregistered research agenda that can disconfirm the postbiological interpretation — or to discover something revolutionary.

Let us show you why this new approach is worth your attention.
