What if the aliens are trying to contact us time after the time as a group mind, because individual contact with the single human due to our intellectual capacity differences is simply impossible? How to respond to them this way properly? How to identify the contact? How will exchange of the information look like?

What would the contact between the two thinking beings look like in humans interpretation?

On accidentally bumping into each other, two beings, while perceiving the environment, will recognize some weird object which is not “neutral” to this environment, and, one of them will get to the idea that in that other beings' head some information is being processed.

One of these beings will experience sudden urge, or just a practical necessity to communicate with that other being for whatever the reason.

In the case of the humans, contact with the other person means transmitting the orders or warnings, asking the questions, or synchronizing the pack culture information in order to learn or to ensure proper understanding of the orders and warnings. And, additionally to that, there are instinctive level “signals” being transmitted like the emotions, body movements, and instinctive level “activities” are being performed like biting, killing, eating the other being. And so on.

The messages that circulate between the humans contain the concepts. Some of them are as simple as eating, mating and playing. Many of the concepts are built by using simpler concepts. So, many of the concepts can be quite “information dense” by they nature and thus the contact partners can't reach the proper level of understanding until the other, emptier, person synchronizes his culture information with the complicated concepts using person. That can take some time. Mostly the understanding in the contact is never reached. And that is just in the case of the humans contacts!

In the case of the humans, the conscious thought is one single process, and the physical volume of the brain is like it is – quite small.

The contact with similar intellectual capacity being or beings pack will feel quite “familiar” to us, and, eventually, at some point those two packs of the animals will learn to establish non destructive contact. At least some smart individuals in those packs will do, even if the others will keep performing automatic instinctive actions of violence against the others.

But, what if someone with the 1 cubic meter of brains which uses several parallel conscious thought processes or even something significantly different from our thought processes might want to contact us to relay the flow of the messages? And, what if it would use in the process of the contact as the communication instrument something completely unknown to us in principle? (It would have new type of organs which would influence establishment of principally new concepts)

That being would experience major difficulties in contacting us because we would have very few concepts in common, and because we have single flow of conscious thought, which would make the contact very linear and very prolonged.

However, from the aside, the alien will be able to notice that we act as the group. And that there is information exchange going on inside that group. And that we have a pool of common knowledge which influences individual person's responses to the questions.

So it could try to contact our pack culture environment instead of performing futile individual contacts. And, with the time, the humans pack as a whole would absorb incredibly complex question and the associated culture information synchronization messages flow, and, after some long time, the culture will start to contain the understanding of the topic of this question and how the humanity responds as a whole to that question.

This idea is currently quite abstract, intuitive, it needs more analysis and modeling.

Anyway, it would be worth establishing the initiative which analyzes our information environment for the signs of unnatural information appearances and flows. If we will filtrate out the imitation of the scientific thought processes and behavior (esoteric information) we might find something interesting.

Several possible signs of unnatural information appearances in our culture comes to mind. There could be persons, who distribute novel information which was not based on learning and hard work. It might be dreams, it might be something else. Also strange motor activities in the humans might be involved. Some environmental changes or visages might be related to the contact as well. Anything new that has no trace of how entirely new concepts were created might be related to the contact. Like in the case of those ancient tales which contain information dense concepts which were produced by supposedly incredibly dumb humans.

My proposal is to look for the appearances of the information which does not have signs of how that information was created. Usually, it takes quite a lot of time to create some novel thoughts. It creates the traces like buying books, scientific magazines, reading Wikipedia, watching scientific and sci-fi TV packages, and so on. In the case of the alien interference, some new thoughts, some new concepts might pop out like from the thin air.

It is today when we finally have the necessary tools to analyse our current information environment by using Google, Microsoft, Yahoo databases to try to find the traces of potential aliens contact with us.
