The language is actually a "functional blueprint". The forms of the
shapes, symbols and arrangements thereof is itself functional. What
makes it all especially difficult to grasp is that every element of each
"diagram" is dependant on and related to every other element, which
means no single detail can be created, removed or modified
independently. Humans like written language because each element of the
language can be understood on its own, and from this, complex
expressions can be built. However, their "language" is entirely
context-sensitive, which means that a given symbol could mean as little
as a 1-bit flag in one context, or, quite literally, contain the entire
human genome or a galaxy star map in another. The ability for a single,
small symbol to contain, not just represent, tremendous amounts of data
is another counter-intuitive aspect of this concept. We quickly realized
that even working in groups of 10 or more on the simplest of diagrams,
we found it virtually impossible to get anything done. As each new
feature was added, the complexity of the diagram exponentially grew to
unmanageable proportions. For this reason we began to develop
computer-based systems to manage these details and achieved some
success, although again we found that a threshold was quickly reached
beyond which even the supercomputers of the day were unable to keep up.
Word was that the extra-terrestrials could design these diagrams as
quickly and easily as a human programmer could write a Fortran program.
It's humbling to think that even a network of supercomputers wasn't able
to duplicate what they could do in their own heads. Our entire system
of language is based on the idea of assigning meaning to symbols. Their
technology, however, somehow merges the symbol and the meaning, so a
subjective audience is not needed. You can put whatever meaning you want
on the symbols, but their behavior and functionality will not change,
any more than a transistor will function differently if you give it
another name
