Collective-Consciousness Star Civilizations

Collective-consciousness star civilizations are a major derived concept in advanced alien-civilization theory. Best understood as a speculative fusion of Type II stellar civilization, collective intelligence, and post-biological networking, the concept proposes that some extraterrestrial societies may operate not merely as star-system powers but as coherent shared minds distributed across worlds, habitats, machines, and communication networks.
