Alien Message
I have composed a message, meant for humans to send into space in hopes that an ETI (extra-terrestrial intelligence) may hear it. Instead of following a typical blog format and telling you how I composed it, I leave it up to you to see if I did a good enough job to create something that at a very minimum a human can decode. Note that this is the first part of a multi-segment message, and your only hint is that the message is in binary.
I will not disclose whether the message is structured with a fixed bitwidth, nor what the bidwidth may be
I will not disclose the program I created, then used to compose the message
Without further ado, here is the message’s bytecode:
[0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 2, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 0, 5, 5, 3, 2, 1, 5, 5, 3, 0, 1, 5, 3, 5, 3, 5, 6, 0, 1, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 7, 0, 1, 5, 3, 5, 5, 5, 8, 0, 1, 5, 4, 5, 3, 5, 7, 0, 1, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 8, 0, 1, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 9, 0, 1, 5, 5, 5, 3, 5, 8, 0, 1, 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 9, 0, 1, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 10, 0, 5, 9, 1, 5, 3, 5, 6, 0, 5, 2, 5, 2, 0, 1, 5, 3, 1, 5, 8, 5, 4, 5, 15, 2, 0, 6, 6, 3, 0, 6, 0, 6, 0, 0, 6, 1, 6, 1, 2, 7, 6, 3, 0, 7, 6, 0, 6, 1, 0, 7, 6, 1, 6, 0, 2, 10, 6, 6, 3, 0, 10, 6, 0, 6, 0, 6, 0, 0, 10, 6, 0, 6, 1, 6, 1, 0, 10, 6, 1, 6, 0, 6, 1, 0, 10, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 2, 11, 6, 6, 3, 0, 11, 6, 0, 6, 0, 6, 1, 0, 11, 6, 0, 6, 1, 6, 0, 0, 11, 6, 1, 6, 0, 6, 0, 0, 11, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 0, 2, 8, 6, 6, 3, 0, 8, 6, 0, 6, 0, 6, 0, 0, 8, 6, 0, 6, 1, 6, 0, 0, 8, 6, 1, 6, 0, 6, 0, 0, 8, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 2, 9, 6, 6, 3, 0, 9, 6, 0, 6, 0, 6, 1, 0, 9, 6, 0, 6, 1, 6, 1, 0, 9, 6, 1, 6, 0, 6, 1, 0, 9, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 0, 2, 12, 6, 6, 3, 0, 12, 6, 0, 6, 0, 6, 0, 0, 12, 6, 0, 6, 1, 6, 1, 0, 12, 6, 1, 6, 0, 6, 1, 0, 12, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 0, 2, 13, 6, 6, 3, 0, 13, 6, 0, 6, 0, 6, 1, 0, 13, 6, 0, 6, 1, 6, 0, 0, 13, 6, 1, 6, 0, 6, 0, 0, 13, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 2, 14, 5, 5, 3, 0, 14, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 0, 0, 14, 5, 3, 5, 4, 6, 1, 0, 14, 5, 3, 5, 5, 6, 1, 0, 14, 5, 4, 5, 3, 6, 0, 0, 14, 5, 4, 5, 4, 6, 0, 0, 14, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 1, 0, 14, 5, 5, 5, 3, 6, 0, 0, 14, 5, 5, 5, 4, 6, 0, 0, 14, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 0, 2, 15, 5, 5, 3, 0, 15, 5, 3, 5, 3, 6, 1, 0, 15, 5, 3, 5, 4, 6, 0, 0, 15, 5, 3, 5, 5, 6, 0, 0, 15, 5, 4, 5, 3, 6, 0, 0, 15, 5, 4, 5, 4, 6, 1, 0, 15, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 0, 0, 15, 5, 5, 5, 3, 6, 0, 0, 15, 5, 5, 5, 4, 6, 0, 0, 15, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 1, 17, 16, 0, 5, 3, 0, 16, 0, 5, 3, 17, 16, 1, 5, 3, 0, 16, 1, 5, 3, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 6, 17, 16, 0, 5, 3, 0, 16, 0, 5, 3, 17, 16, 1, 5, 4, 0, 16, 1, 5, 4, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 7, 17, 16, 0, 5, 3, 0, 16, 0, 5, 3, 17, 16, 1, 5, 5, 0, 16, 1, 5, 5, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 8, 17, 16, 0, 5, 4, 0, 16, 0, 5, 4, 17, 16, 1, 5, 3, 0, 16, 1, 5, 3, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 7, 17, 16, 0, 5, 4, 0, 16, 0, 5, 4, 17, 16, 1, 5, 4, 0, 16, 1, 5, 4, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 8, 17, 16, 0, 5, 4, 0, 16, 0, 5, 4, 17, 16, 1, 5, 5, 0, 16, 1, 5, 5, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 9, 17, 16, 0, 5, 5, 0, 16, 0, 5, 5, 17, 16, 1, 5, 3, 0, 16, 1, 5, 3, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 8, 17, 16, 0, 5, 5, 0, 16, 0, 5, 5, 17, 16, 1, 5, 4, 0, 16, 1, 5, 4, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 9, 17, 16, 0, 5, 5, 0, 16, 0, 5, 5, 17, 16, 1, 5, 5, 0, 16, 1, 5, 5, 0, 1, 16, 0, 16, 1, 5, 10, 17, 16, 0, 5, 3, 17, 16, 1, 1, 16, 0, 5, 4, 0, 16, 0, 5, 3, 0, 16, 1, 5, 7, 17, 16, 0, 5, 5, 0, 16, 0, 5, 5, 0, 16, 1, 5, 7, 17, 16, 0, 1, 16, 0, 5, 6, 0, 16, 0, 5, 11, 19, 18, 0, 5, 19, 18, 1, 5, 0, 1, 18, 0, 18, 1, 1, 18, 1, 18, 0, 19, 18, 0, 6, 17, 18, 1, 7, 18, 0, 0, 8, 18, 0, 18, 1, 6, 0, 19, 18, 1, 6, 0, 9, 18, 0, 18, 1, 7, 8, 18, 0, 18, 1, 21, 20, 0, 22, 16, 0, 5, 22, 16, 1, 5, 23, 1, 1, 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, 1, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 3, 5, 5, 21, 20, 0, 22, 16, 0, 5, 25, 14, 5, 16, 16, 0, 23, 5, 1, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 8, 5, 1, 21, 20, 0, 22, 16, 0, 5, 22, 16, 1, 5, 17, 16, 2, 5, 0, 17, 16, 3, 5, 0, 26, 14, 16, 1, 16, 0, 17, 16, 2, 1, 16, 2, 5, 1, 17, 16, 3, 1, 16, 3, 16, 1, 23, 16, 3, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 3, 5, 3, 9, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 3, 5, 4, 12, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 3, 5, 5, 15, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 4, 5, 3, 12, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 4, 5, 4, 16, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 4, 5, 5, 20, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 5, 5, 3, 15, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 5, 5, 4, 20, 0, 24, 20, 0, 5, 5, 5, 5, 25]
