The study of the new forms of physics, information, and society that emerge after humanity. This is the science of posthuman entities and their environments. It might involve the mathematics of subjective time in simulated realities, the sociology of minds that can copy and merge themselves, or the physics of virtual universes with different fundamental constants. It's the knowledge system built by intelligences unfettered by biological brains, asking questions humans haven't even learned to formulate.
Example: "The leading text in posthumanist sciences is 'Ontological Topology and the Ethics of Recursive Self-Iteration.' It's written in a language that describes concepts through multi-sensory data clusters. The human translation reads like a fever dream crossed with a calculus textbook."
