A speculative framework that reframes the Fermi Paradox as a quantum measurement problem, arguing that civilizations occupy orthogonal sectors of Hilbert space and that passive detection via photons is structurally suppressed by decoherence, many-particle amplitude collapse, and quantum error correction cloaking β leaving physical interstellar probes as the only viable first-contact channel.
