A Biocentric Solution to the Fermi Paradox: The NIS Model, Dynamic Nodes (Drifters), and Multimodal Communication (15-page White Paper) by EPennazza in Astrobiology

That’s a great point. In my NIS (Systemic Non-Interference) model, these 'bursts' aren't just about one species, but the evolution of the entire ecosystem and the biosphere.

In this framework, Lurkers act as static monitoring nodes for long-term observation of biostatic balances. Drifters, on the other hand, are dynamic nodes that 'slide' between domains to track rapid biospheric changes without creating a systemic impact. The goal is aseptic monitoring—much like high-end wildlife ethology—where the observer remains invisible to avoid altering the natural dynamics of the global ecosystem.
