There is a more fundamental objection: why would a set of 1s and 0s represent (given periodic repetition in 1⁄3 of the message, so dividing it into groups of 3 makes sense) specifically 3 frequencies of light and not
Sound (hat tip The Hail Mary Project)
An arrangement of points in 3d space
Actually 6 or 9 “bytes” to defie each “point”
Or the absolute intensity or scale of the information (hat tip Monty Python tiny aliens)
I think it could deduce it’s an image of a sparse 3D space with 3 channels. From there, it could deduce a lot, but maybe not that the channels are activated by certain frequencies.
