These "signals" have less entropy than normal, which is what is interesting about them, so we have to come up with additional criteria here.

- coldtea 9y agoWell, simple periodic/repeating signals occur all the time in nature -- so it has to be more advanced than that to consider it an actual message or "intelligence made". Even if it was the Macarena beat it would hardly qualify as such.
