4 June - Some new theories about the message interpretation
The participants continue to propose and discuss some new theories about the message interpretation. Some of the older and less popular theories begin fading out, and others still attract attention. Here are some of the new ideas seen today in Discord.
Carefully studying the locations of the "stars" in the five clusters in the "starmap" reveals some subtle patterns.

After a series of transformations, a sequence of four prime numbers appears from the message data.

Polynesian wayfinding. This has probably been inspired by one of the workshops of the project. If the message were to show us a way to
navigate by using the stars, we would need to know what is the starting location for the message.
In a related topic, some participants consider how astronomical objects could be used to describe a location in the universe. The objects cannot be too near, or they would appear differently to different observers because of parallax. They cannot be too far either, because there are too many places to where a telescope could be pointed, and all look alike. A satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, such as the Large Magellanic
Cloud might be ideal. Following this topic, other participants consider the possibility of using the Pleiades to calibrate cosmic distance.

we walk around

And if I'm not mistaken, we are not to assume the aliens actually sent the message from Mars, and therefore contain martian context?

Oooh
"Navigation relies heavily on constant observation and memorization. Navigators have to memorize where they have sailed from in order to know where they are. The sun was the main guide for navigators because they could follow its exact points as it rose and set. Once the sun had set they would use the rising and setting points of the stars. When there were no stars because of a cloudy night or during daylight, a navigator would use the winds and swells as guides.[21]
Through constant observation, navigators were able to detect changes in the speed of their canoes, their heading, and the time of day or night. Polynesian navigators thus employed a wide range of techniques including the use of the stars, the movement of ocean currents and wave patterns, the patterns of bioluminescence that indicated the direction in which islands were located, the air and sea interference patterns caused by islands and atolls, the flight of birds, the winds and the weather." - Wikipedia, on Polynesian navigation

and this was also discussed, imagine that there are no tsshey, eyes, feelings.](https://asignin.space/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/4_3-1024x631.png)
