> Compatible Senders and Receivers
>
> Only intelligence creates codes, programs, and information (CP&I).
> Each involves senders and receivers. Senders and receivers can be
> people, animals, plants, organs, cells, or certain molecules. (The DNA
> molecule is a prolific sender.) The CP&I in a message must be
> understandable and beneficial to both sender and receiver; otherwise,
> the effort expended in transmitting and receiving messages (written,
> chemical, electrical, magnetic, visual, and auditory) will be wasted.
>
> Consider the astronomical number of links (message channels) that
> exist between potential senders and receivers: from the cellular level
> to complete organisms, from bananas to bacteria to babies, and across
> all of time since life began. All must have compatible understandings
> (CP&I) and equipment (matter and energy). Designing compatibilities of
> this magnitude requires one or more superintelligences. Furthermore,
> these superintelligence(s) must completely understand how matter and
> energy behave over time. In other words, the superintelligence(s) must
> have made, or at least mastered, the laws of chemistry and physics
> wherever senders and receivers are found. The simplest, most
> parsimonious way to integrate all of life is for there to be only one
> superintelligence.
>
> Also, the sending and receiving equipment, including its energy
> sources, must be in place and functional before communication begins.
> But the preexisting equipment provides no benefit until useful
> messages begin arriving. Therefore, intelligent foresight (planning)
> is mandatory—something nature cannot do.
