A speculative transhumanist or post-human concept proposing that advanced consciousness can and will eventually decouple from all biological or even computational substrate to exist as self-sustaining patterns of pure information or thought within the fabric of spacetime itself—"born of the void." These entities would be to humans as humans are to bacteria: invisible, operating on scales and with logic incomprehensible to us, drawing energy from quantum vacuum fluctuations or dark energy. They wouldn't inhabit the universe; they would be woven into its geometry, making the cosmos itself their mind and body.
Example: In Voidborne Theory, a civilization a billion years ahead of us doesn't build Dyson spheres. It learns to encode its collective consciousness into the quantum spin fields of dark matter, or as standing waves in the Higgs field. To us, they are undetectable—perhaps manifesting as unexplained gravitational lensing or the placebo effect. They are not gods; they are the universe becoming awake and intentional, having shed the "shell" of matter to become what looks like physics. We might be living inside the dormant dream of a Voidborne entity, or be its crude ancestors.
