| contents | <p>Imagine two observers trying to communicate without any shared clock, prior agreement, or knowledge of each other’s situation. The only common ground they have is the laws of physics. This work starts from a simple idea: if both parties can independently observe the same underlying structure—like tension in a string or motion in a system—then that structure can serve as a shared timing reference. A signal does not need to carry its own clock; it only needs to align with one that both sides can reconstruct.</p> <p>In practical terms, the framework identifies two independent channels already present in many real-world systems. One carries a timing structure (e.g. Doppler or periodic motion), and the other carries a signal (e.g. polarisation or a binary sequence). When the signal is expressed against the independently reconstructed timing, detection reduces to a simple question: does a low-complexity pattern emerge? This transformation collapses a high-dimensional waveform into a minimal sequence, making it possible to test for structure using standard tools—or even perceptual methods such as listening to the resulting pattern.</p> <p>Originally motivated by interstellar communication and SETI, the framework is intentionally general. It separates what is fixed by physics from what is left to implementation, allowing it to be explored using existing data or modest experimental setups. Radio amateurs, signal processing researchers, and musicians alike can engage with the same core idea: structure arises when independent systems lock through shared dynamics. This repository provides a minimal formulation of that principle and invites extension, testing, and reinterpretation across domains. We do not connect this work to horizon physics.</p> |
