    There is a problem with this approach, the assumption that an extraterrestrial intelligence will be communicating over electromagnetic waves without using any sort of modulation. This approach works only if the extraterrestrial language directly maps to the em frequencies without any sort of encoding or modulation.

    So if we rule out noise by looking for a nice variation of, well, the (occurrence) frequency of (spectrum) frequencies, how do we rule this out from noise which follows a nice probability distribution curve, but is still truly random?
    I assume this has to do with analyzing the sequence of the changing frequencies, but I can't fully relate the two concepts as you have explained them.
    Also, how can we be sure that the trend we see on the graph @ 7:13 will be detectable to us? We can clearly see that humans have higher information entropy than dolphins, because it decreases more slowly as entropic order increases. What if an intelligent life is so succinct that their information entropy doesn't decrease fast enough for us to detect it? Is that possible?
    Anyway, great series! I really enjoyed it.

      Have you seen an ExtraTerrestrial? If so, there is no point in saying anything because (1) people will think you are a psycho, maybe even yourself will think so, and (2) you will never be heard from again because of either - the government or the mothership. I say this not from experience (??? not that I can tell you anyway), but from sheer logic. Haha LOL

  • @Eta_Carinae__

    IIRC Shannon and Weaver formulated a basic theoretical machine in their paper that encoded a signal and transmitted it, and the signal plus noise would be received and decoded by a receiver. Insofar as communication with aliens might be concerned, Shannon has no account of how person's encoders and decoders actually develop. This is of little concern to the control engineer like Shannon, who can simply manufacture the right decoders and encoders, but autonomous biological processes are a different story. I know the solution postulated by Mackie has been a sort of negative feedback process of negotiation to adjust ones encoders/decoders, and the results of human/dolphin language studies are corroborated by universal grammar, but it's likely that initial contact will be highly unintelligible to our decoders, and we have reason to suspect that, despite universal grammar, we may never have any notion of alien semantics via the indeterminacy of translation. We may only be able to know IF anyone is talking, but not what they're saying.

    Babies utter every possible phoneme at first, and then ‘die’ into their native language, and eliminate the phonemes that specific language does not use. This is why when people learn languages later in life they will carry a distinct accent. Like how asians have trouble pronouncing the letter ‘R’ because that is just a phoneme that isn’t used in asian languages.

    If Darwin is correct both Dolphins and Humans share a common ancestor and thus have a similar brain architecture. Unsurprisingly they operate with similar communication patterns. It’s like finding similar behavior between an ARM cpu and an x86 cpu. They have evolved differently from basic VonNumen architecture . An extraterrestrial intelligence would share no common ancestry with humans and dolphins Therefore the underlying assumptions of extraterrestrial communication is flawed.
