The Fermi paradox is fundamentally defined by the observation that Earth is the only known location of intelligent life, creating a conflict between the high probability of extraterrestrial life and the lack of evidence for it on Earth [1], [2], and [3]. Various theoretical frameworks, such as the Simulation Hypothesis [4] and the categorizations by Milan Ćirković [5] and Michael Hart [6], use the absence of extraterrestrial presence on Earth as a central premise to explore this paradox.

referenceMilan Ćirković categorizes the Fermi Paradox into three levels: ProtoFP (the absence of extraterrestrials on Earth is incompatible with our assumptions), WeakFP (the absence of evidence of extraterrestrials in the Solar System is incompatible with our assumptions), and StrongFP (the absence of any evidence for extraterrestrials anywhere).
claimThe Simulation Hypothesis explains the Fermi Paradox by asserting that the simulation is limited to a spatio-temporal volume centered on Earth, meaning no extraterrestrial intelligent beings exist within the simulation.
