Non-Human Intelligence Classification System for UAP Research
The accumulated evidence from decades of UAP research suggests the possibility of encounters with various forms of non-human intelligence. To advance scientific understanding and develop appropriate response protocols, we need systematic classification frameworks that can organize diverse phenomena into coherent categories while remaining flexible enough to accommodate new discoveries.

Exotic Intelligence Forms (EIF)
This category encompasses intelligence types that don’t fit conventional biological or artificial classifications.
Quantum Consciousness Entities (QCE):
- Intelligence based on quantum mechanical processes
- Potentially existing in superposition states or quantum field configurations
- May interact with reality through quantum measurement effects
- Characteristics: Non-classical behavior, quantum coherence maintenance, observer-dependent manifestation
Dimensional Intelligence (DI):
- Consciousness existing primarily in higher dimensions
- 3D reality interaction through dimensional projection or intersection
- May perceive reality from fundamentally different perspectives

Plasma-Based Intelligence (PBI):
- Consciousness existing within organized plasma configurations
- Self-organizing electromagnetic field patterns
- Potentially native to stellar or interstellar plasma environments
