New Concept: [extraterrestrial intelligence] #291

Extraterrestrial intelligence

Reviews and definitions here: 2018arXiv180906857W 2018arXiv181208681T

Closely related or synonymous with "technosignatures."

This is an old keyword that has no related concept in the UAT yet.

You state that this is synonymous with technosignatures, and I got that same impression from Andrew Siemion, so I am hesitant too include it as a stand alone concept, but rather as an alternate version of technosiguature. A concept for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence was suggested (see #270), would that be sufficient? See also Biomarkers #271.

OK, I'm not totally clear on the UAT structure but this seems all consistent.

It's fine to make SETI be the main concept with technosignatures as a related and nearly synonymous concept. "extraterrestrial intelligence" on its own is probably redundant.
