If in reality or somewhere else you should ever encounter a superior being, try to get the following message across:

II IIi IIIII IIIIIII

as in 2, 3, 5, 7

They will understand and consider you to be at least somewhat sophisticated.

; )

get a ladder

alternatively

If someone offers you elk meat, take it.

But, but, I think they only abduct the sophisticated ones.

such a simplistic message!

If offered alien meat, I suggest a marinate, grilled and served with finely sliced Bermuda onions prepared in a Spanish balsamic vinegar.

Better not p___ them off.

I forget where I saw it but on some media platform in the “science” it mentioned that we really are alone in the universe. Keep trying though .

Only if they use the same numbering system we do and are into prime numbers.

Otherwise they may just think you are babbling nonsense and go ahead and probe you.

This begs the question of whether math is a discovery or an invention.

I am loving this conversation right now. History is both the meaning and the will of truth.

The language you grew up with has a great deal to do with the way you think. So it stands to reason that "our" numbering system is not universal through out the universe.

I wonder if the numbers matter much when you're trying to meat a being.

You also seem to mix up aliens -other physical beings- with superior beings. Aliens -other physical beings- may have superior technology. Doesn't make them superior beings.

You could call Ascended Masters and Archangels superior beings, even though that isn't entirely correct either, and they wouldn't agree with it. And they don't need silly numbers to communicate.

Scientifically, prime numbers and pi are important only to us humans. So is Zero and Infinity.

Considering the fact we do not scientifically know of any extraterrestrials anywhere, if you were to meet one, the first thing you might notice is whether it tries to eat you or not.

Since we have never found life beyond our planet (yet), its safe to surmise all life eats to live.
So do humans taste good might be its first question. Then there's the question of whether it tastes good to us?
Once the 'food' question is out of the way, you might try to communicate.

Problem with communication is the fact communication requires commonality in some form.

Perhaps its evolutionary path lead it to develop its sense of smell as a form of communication?
It may smell you and smell your confusion or your fear. It might send pheromones to you and be insulted or confused when you do not respond.

Perhaps its way of communication is a mix of sounds, gestures and mind signals all at once?
Humans do that but without understanding what each signal means, it would be gibberish.
If you put up two fingers, say "two" and think "two" it may not understand what you are doing.
You might be insulting its grandmother!

By facing it directly you may be inviting a confrontation. By kneeling in front of it you may be signalling the planet Earth. By jumping in front of it you might be signalling your willingness to mate with it.
You Couldn't know what you do would mean anything you want it to mean BECAUSE it is not from this planet! You have no common frame of reference.

Anything you do might mean you want to fight, mate or eat it.

The only safe way to communicate with an extraterrestrial would be to observe it from a distance and learn how it acts and if there is more than one, how it communicates. BUT, even then, 1st contact would be a dangerous experiment.

Also consider the origin of your "alien".
Is it from a different planet in a different star system?
Is it a trans-dimensional entity?
Is it a lifeform from a far distant future of Earth?
- imagine you traveling back in time and meeting Homo Habilis (the first human). How would you communicate with them? How would you know what they do is them trying to communicate with you?
To them, you would be the "alien". You would have special coverings and special tools and make weird noises and move your arms strangely.You would stand upright and walk differently. They would probably try to eat you, or mate with you. You could try to explain to them simple math but they wouldn't grasp what you were doing. Even if you dumbed everything down to a child mentality they wouldn't be able to grasp your meaning because there would be no common frame of reference.

If there is no way we could effectively communicate with our own ancestors from our own planet, what makes you think we could communicate with something "truly alien"?

My curious question is not about improbable intelligent extraterrestrials, or symbols used to express mathematical concepts, but rather about those concepts per se.

To serve man, great book.

Any civilization capable of coming to us is also capable of folding space-time, which basically means they'd be a human wandering into a group of apes.

We're left to hope their nature isn't human nature.

The "concepts" are the same. To do anything "technical" you're going to have to figure out ways to measure and manipulate angles, areas, temperatures, pressures etc, unless you're psychokinetic.

Do a Vulcan mind meld with them. 🫣
