Vreemrelated

Vreemrelated is a term used in speculative contexts to describe topics, phenomena, or relationships involving contact and interaction between humans and extraterrestrial intelligences, as well as the cultural dynamics surrounding such encounters. It functions as a broad label for discussions about diplomacy, communication, ethics, and social exchange across species or civilizations in fiction, ufology, and related discourse.

Etymology and usage notes suggest that vreemrelated is a neologism formed from elements implying foreign or alien relations and the English word related. It is not widely attested in peer-reviewed scientific literature and is more commonly found in online glossaries, fan wikis, and speculative writing. The term often appears in discussions about first contact scenarios, interspecies linguistics, cross-cultural misunderstanding, or policy frameworks for hypothetical alien contact.

In practice, vreemrelated topics cover a range of subfields, such as exolinguistics (communication with non-human intelligences), xenology (study of alien cultures), and ethics of contact, including questions of sovereignty, consent, and representation. Writers and researchers may use it to group debates about how human institutions would adapt to non-human partners, how to interpret non-human signals, and how to establish mutually beneficial relations.
