I doubt whether Wolfe would worry too much about the distinction. Both sides use the alzabo glands, for example.  Typhon uses high technology.  And for all I know, the undersea monsters may be driven by nanotech rather than some alien biology.  Their technology may be so advanced it is not recognised as such.
