That portion of the books didn’t seem too well reasoned. Digital encoding with high redundancy error correction and carved into walls would be superior to analog encodings for long term archival IMHO. Though more difficult to decode, any aliens advanced enough to reach it could reverse engineer it.
- eternityforest 3y agoAnalog text is already very redundant in the same manner as digital ECC. Letters mostly are different from other letters, and usually a single corrupt letter is obvious and one can tell what the author meant. Digital ECC adds an extra layer, but analog text is still pretty good.
