we have to little to go on, wouldn't a compatibility issue arise. I'm calling BS on you saying it's not been implied. IIRC It's definitely been implied. anyways I was going to re-read the series. Imo, one aspect of it is a reference point of the world. A tool with more than one use.

What about the IT and the other power Touma had crushed? If they're not magical or esper then what else are they? You can only have so many classifications unless it's some BS one that's hard to believe.

And you continue to say it's implied but you didn't give any example of it. The only decent explanation about what IB is it's that of NT5 and of all the possibilities listed by Ollerus, someone who stepped into the divine territory, the divine nature in not even mentioned. And having more than one use doesn't make something divine. Even the Misaka Network is a multi-purpose tool but it doesn't mean it's divine.

In Toaru there are three comfirmed type of power: magical (which includes religious gods), scientifical, and a yet unnamed third one unrelated to the previous ones. IB clearly belongs to the latter. Even Fraulein and Miracles don't belong to magic or science. IT and/or the dragons and/or the third power may easily fall in this category too.
