Probably are Sentient beings. Whether or not they are carbon based or otherwise is questionable, as is where on the scale of evolution are they. They could be lightyears ahead of us or blinking Cavemen.

I think the question needs to be 'when is everybody' as well as 'where is everybody'.
What I don't know is why they haven't visited us yet, or why we haven't found them remotely yet.
I do not know.
I suspect it by the intuition.
The life is so microscopic and the universe and its distances so gigantic, that the partitioning is obvious here.
Maybe they visited us and then blocked our planet from further visits with a General Order 7?
Not at all obvious to me.
Don't you think you might not have enough information to come to these conclusions about superior forces and 'partitionings'?
The mere fact that something is big cannot lead one to the conclusion that there is intentional partitioning taking place.
Given the available data there is nothing we can say about superior intelligences or partitioning
Don’t get me wrong.
It’s not conclusions, just suppositions.
However, voluntary or not, there is an obvious form of partitioning here.

Partitioning is in the mind, I would say.
I agree that the distances involved make contact with alien intelligent lifeforms somewhat problematic.
I am very careful never to use words that might imply intend.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_the_brain_mythYes, the distances but also our fragility, our vulnerability, our limited intelligence and knowledge.
I read that we use 10% of our brain. If one day we use 100%, maybe we will use our mind to get in contact with other intelligent life forms, at distance ...
