Cognitive life
Summary
The fundamental principles of biology could make recognizing cognitive life outside of our planet a difficult task, even if it is something similar to what we have on Earth. The current frameworks of carbon-based life and active inference may not be reliable and it is possible that these foreign life forms may be difficult to recognize.
