The art of building ecosystems, substrates, and frameworks for beings whose needs and perceptions are alien to human biology. How do you design a habitat for a consciousness that exists as a pattern in a quantum computer? How do you engineer a body for a being that perceives 11 dimensions? This engineering deals with problems of scaling consciousness, ensuring continuity across distributed systems, and creating stable environments in virtual or non-biological spaces. The client is no longer human, and neither are the design constraints.
Example: "Posthumanist engineering solved the 'heat death of the server farm' problem. They engineered a fractal consciousness that could compress its experiential timeline during low-power cycles, perceiving a century of thought during a picosecond of computation as resources dwindled."
