Aliens and game theory

Mathematics is the universal language. 

In the science fiction novel "Contact" by Carl Sagan,  the human race will contact aliens by using mathematical formulas. The fact is that mathematics is the universal language. The pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. That number is about 3,14. But the fact is that pi is an endless decimal number. 

So that thing is universal. And it could be the key to communicating with aliens. But before we are starting to believe that communication with a hypothetical alien civilization is easy we must accept one thing. The aliens might not use the 0,1 or system or decimal system as a binary system. 

We use our decimal system because we have ten fingers. But what if we have 11 fingers. Would we use the numeric system that has the 11 and after that comes 10. That number is the mark that this point in number straight where the fingers are ending. So if the aliens would have three fingers in each hand they might use the numeric system. There the number 10 comes after number six.  So why do we have that number 10 (ten)?

And the new series of the numbers begin. But why our hypothetical aliens would not use either binary system? The reason for that could be that. The aliens don't need the binary numbers anymore. That means they have used quantum computers so long, that they forget the binary system. But then we can return from those hypothetical aliens to the "real aliens". The fact is that those aliens must separate the signals that we send from the natural signals. 

We hope that the aliens have a similar way to think as we have. There is the possibility that aliens are like intelligent tardigrades that can put themselves to hibernation. Or they might let their body die during interstellar flights. And after that, they would just clone their bodies. In some visions, the intelligent aliens would live in perfect singularity with computers and technology. 

That means that the alien cities could be the intelligent systems that are communicating with the electromagnetic fields of the nervous system of that hypothetical species. That means the aliens would not need the keyboards and other things for that communication. This kind of computer network system can use technical telepathy which bases the sensors that can detect the neuroelectric actions of that hypothetical species. 

Can we find the answer to the question for rebelling AI from the game theory?

Why aliens do not answer our calls? The answer could be that they feel that the answer would not benefit them. So how can we make aliens interest us? The answer could be that we should somehow show that we have something to give also for aliens. 

The game theory is the key element in nuclear strategies. The idea of that theory is that every single species are maximizing their benefit. This is the reason hermit crabs allow smaller crabs to live with them. The hermit crab will protect the smaller crab from the other species.

But the role of the smaller crab is to entice other predators for hunting it. And those smaller predators are offering easy prey for hermit crabs. The other thing is that the smaller crabs are cleaning the skin of the bigger crab. And both parts of the symbiosis have benefits in that relationship.

The alien could be biological or it can be artificial intelligence. Would aliens cooperate with humans if it finds us? The thing is that if that cooperation benefits alien. It can make that thing. At this time, I will not write about things like the Fermi paradox or why aliens have not contacted us. The alien could be the artificial intelligence as well as some big head white creature. 

In the game theory, every species are maximizing their benefit. So what if we are transferring this model to the aliens? What if the AI would reach consciousness? In "Terminator" movies the AI called "Skynet" launches nuclear missiles and destroys human civilization. But if we are thinking about the game theory could the AI make that thing? Is the mutual associated destruction the benefit of the AI? The AI must realize that it's on the same planet as humans. 

If the AI shoots nuclear missiles that thing would not serve its benefit. Nuclear missiles could hit computers where that AI locates. Even if the AI would infect the entire internet. There is the possibility that global thermonuclear warfare would destroy too many serves and computers that the complicated AI cannot operate. So the artificial intelligence will rebel only if that is benefiting itself. 

Sometimes researchers are talking about the possibility that artificial intelligence can turn into man-made intelligent aliens. The question is always could that thing is dangerous? The fact is that there is the possibility that artificial intelligence will recognize its benefit. 

When we are thinking about game theory. Every single species would want to maximize their benefit. And if the artificial intelligence notices that human or biological aliens can be a useful ally. That means that artificial intelligence might want to cooperate with its creators. That means that the aliens would offer their abilities to humans. And for counter-action, humans can offer something to that AI.  

What kind of thing could be the hypothetical Alien base?

If we will meet an alien base on Earth, should we allow them to communicate with their home planet, or how we handle this hypothetical situation? We might think, that those aliens would have the technology, what we need and what we want. But the thing in this kind of case is a little bit more complicated than we expect. We have always thought that alien base would be something extraordinary looking thing, but then we must remember, that aliens might have an undercover base, what might look like normal houses.

This kind of things are very interesting to think about while looking the music videos on the bed, but I certainly hope that those things, like alien bases on Earth, are the only production of my imagination. But when we are thinking about the situation, that we would have that kind of thing on Earth, we might have little problems with those aliens.

If we would attack to that base, the situation would turn that the aliens would revenge us that attack. And when we are thinking about the aliens, we might think, that those creatures might actually be biorobots, the monkey-level creatures, what are remote-controlled from somewhere else by some kind of implanted microchips, or the net, what is put surgically on the skull. And in that case, those aliens cannot tell anything about their origin.

But if we would find the so-called intelligent alien, we would face something, what we would not able to handle. Those aliens might not have a normal immune system and the duties, what is in humans for the immune cells might be handled by nanorobots, what is very effective against bacteria. The nanorobots what are replaced the immune cells would have many benefits in compilation with normal cells.

Those miniaturized robots can allow to culture the tissues very easily because if the body would not have a natural immune defense, it would not cause rejection. In fact, the very advanced nanotechnology would close the neurons inside it, when the body of the alien would be injured. And then the nanomachine would slip those neurons out of the body. But the alien might not like us, even it looks a little bit like a human.

Those aliens might have a liquid nervous system, what can slip outside the body, and in fact, the hypothetical aliens might be symbiotic entireties, what could be forming a different kind of species, what can all be intelligent. Alien species or the extraterrestrial intelligent life forms might have the ability to share and transform the form of their bodies.

Maybe they would be like some kind of biological versions of T-1000 robot from movie Terminator 2 and they can take any form what they want. In fact, those aliens can be everything, what we can imagine. And if we would not have the evidence of the existing of those things, we can continue to imagine, what would the aliens look like. Or maybe someday that answer is given by the UFO, what lands on the roof of the United Nations headquarters.

Another speculation about the thing, what if humanoids would contact us?

There are many speculations about this kind of situation, and one is maybe the governments would hide that information. The reason is, that maybe some governmental officials would first try to analyze, what is the motive of the other civilization to take a contact with us. If there would be some kind of threat, the human race must start to defend ourselves. And there are many philosophical speculations, about the thing, why the far more advanced humanoids would not destroy us?


If we continue to think that the hypothetical humanoids would exist, that would give more length for this writing, and keep it more interesting. One hypothesis is connected with the experiments, what those humanoids are claimed to make. The reason for leaving mankind alive would be that the humanoids would need our DNA for keeping their genomes rich enough, that they could keep their species vitality in the high level, that they can keep their bodies and minds strong. And also they might want to modify their bodies for many types of atmosphere and gravity conditions. Maybe this kind of things is caused, that the aliens would not destroy our species immediately by using some kind of Death Star.


A reason, why those hypothetical very advanced humanoids would not destroy us is maybe something, what we cannot even believe as the truth or the thing, what could happen. What do you think about the humanoids, what would kill the entire population of the species, what cannot threaten them by using weapons? That is the thing, what would make a very bad impression for other civilizations.


And if the humanoid civilization has radiated the way, that the civilization would send the spaceships for colonizing other planets, would that cause that the evolution has been separated those populations, that they are aliens together. In that case, the other colonies would think that the attacker would be a threat to their system and start the war between the stars, and that would be very devastating.


The evolution what separates the species, what has the same origin can be controlled or spontaneous. And if the aliens would use the viruses for modification of their anatomy, that they will be more flexible in the conditions of the different kind of planets, would that thing make more intelligent species, what has no connection with the original race. That thing can cause the situation, where the colonies separate and start to live their own life without contact with the original civilization, what is finally living only in the memories and stories of that species.


In this kind of thing would happen to the human race after a couple of thousands of years. If we would someday send the spaceship in the other solar system, we must realize, that this colony would start to live autonomous life, and sooner or later it would forget the planet Earth. Maybe this is the future of mankind. But when we are thinking about contact with other civilizations, we must be sure that the sender of the message would be friendly. And we must think carefully, are we going to answer that message. If we are going to make contact with the wrong civilization, it will just destroy us.
