A conceptual framework that explicitly deals with phenomena claimed to be beyond the current reach or proper domain of conventional scientific investigation. It doesn't just run parallel; it points to a territory science hasn't (or can't) map, like the nature of a soul or the meaning of mystical experience. It's the proposal for an annex to the empire of knowledge that science hasn't yet claimed.
Example: "A theory proposing that near-death experiences provide evidence for non-local consciousness surviving bodily death is an Extrascience Theory. It tackles a topic (the afterlife) that mainstream science, by its materialist methods, currently excludes from consideration. It argues for expanding the map, not just taking a different path on the existing one."
