> the larger thing likely either knows [about the fall] and can comprehend this message trivially, or does not and summoning help is the proper action to take. You did say "likely" but to provide an example: skiers who know they fell cannot comprehend the message trivially (not having noticed it's existence) and summoning help is often not the proper action to take. Call centers serving ski towns are swamped with false positives due to this issue.
