Postbiota are evolutionary successors of us/our machines, living in deep space as native habitat. They will self-select to create a relativistic expanding pioneer critter wavefront, that tranforms any stellar system it passes by. By changing the dead dirt into self it prevents possible advent of future life (and is difficult to observe, due to relativistic speed and observer-extinguishing/emergence-preventing side effect (anthropic principle)). Being darwinian machines these will self-optimize until they reach ultimate or omega fitness regime at very high diversity, after which only change is random brownian spatiotemporal fitness oscillations. This kinda negates them being stranglers-in-the-crib of protolife and killers of subexpansive life (as us-current, for instance). In my book.
