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.
