TransformatiET is a neologism used in speculative and fictional discourse to denote a hypothetical framework for transformative technology and communication, often with an extraterrestrial emphasis. The term combines "transformation" with "ET" (extraterrestrial) and is sometimes styled to evoke both transformation and an advanced, alien standard.

In common usage, TransformatiET refers to a cross-disciplinary concept that imagines ways to accelerate systemic change—across information, energy, biology, and governance—to approach capabilities associated with advanced civilizations. It is not an established field or verified technology; rather, it functions as a thought experiment for exploring futures and potential challenges in contacting or modeling non-human intelligences.

Contexts include science fiction worlds, futurist design studies, and speculative discussions about SETI-era technologies. Proponents might describe components such as high-efficiency signal encoding, novel energy management, adaptive social organization, and ethical frameworks for contact. Critics emphasize vagueness, lack of testable predictions, and risk of conflating fiction with potential policy implications.

Because TransformatiET lacks a standard definition, interpretations vary widely; some describe it as a metaphor for rapid, holistic transformation enabled by advanced AI and cross-disciplinary integration, others treat it as a literal blueprint for interstellar communication protocols.
