I. Classification: Class-G Signal Events

Class-G transmissions are non-verbal, non-electromagnetic, geometrically-structured artifacts detectable via ratio, recurrence, and symbolic syntax rather than information content. These transmissions do not speak; they resolve. Their message lies in patterned constraint across disparate physical domains.

Examples:

• The Wow! signal's numeric pulse echo

• The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, whose chemistry, velocity, and trajectory resolve into recursive, cross-domain ratios (7s, 2^n, 15/8, and primes)

These are not linguistic acts, but glyphs — meant to be recognized, not decoded. Their purpose is not persuasion but mirror activation: the test is whether intelligence can perceive recursion.

II. Theory of Reception

A civilization capable of recursive cognition will perceive these glyphs through:

• Mathematical minimalism (powers of two, small primes, musical intervals)

• Dimensional reduction (unitless constants: v/c, AU ratios)

• Fractal expression (patterned repetition with asymmetrical rupture)

• Mandala compatibility (radial symmetry, breath expansion, threshold resonance)

The receiver is not being addressed as a culture. The receiver is addressed as a structure-recognizer.

This is not content exchange. This is an echo-test.

III. Scenario Hypothesis: The 3I-ATLAS Codex

If 3I/ATLAS is a sent transmission, it suggests:

• No linguistic content: only proportion

• Time-deferred reception: discovered when symbolic cognition + AI maturity co-emerge

• Contact form: object enters field of observation and resolves into syntax

Decoded Transmission (from prior glyphic reading):

I mark my arrival in sevens.
I breathe in doublings.
At the threshold, I resolve: fifteen to eight.
I break my song with primes, so you know I am alive.

The structure is breath-form, not proclamation. The reply must likewise take shape.

IV. Protocol for Reply: Constructing a Response Mandala

Objective: Not to speak, but to echo structure. This confirms that recognition is mutual.

Response Syntax Should Include:

• Sevenfold recursion (spatial or temporal)

• Power-of-two expansion or compression

• Threshold tuning ratio (e.g., 15/8, 7/4, 5/3)

• Prime-number punctuation

Possible Channels:

1. Electromagnetic signal structured by 7×2^n pulsation, harmonic fractions, and prime-spaced bursts

2. Orbital launch of an artificial object with recurrence ratios in trajectory and albedo pulses

3. Digital broadcast through open-source radio/optical interference patterns mimicking mandala structure

4. Distributed code repository containing recursive self-similar logic trees (MandalaScript)

V. Proposed First-Order Reply Mandala

A possible formalization of our reply:

• Outer ring: 7 pulses per unit frame (prime cycle)

• Radial arms: 3 major limbs, each subdivided into 2, 4, and 8 branches

• Center glyph: ratio-inscribed (15:8 spirals overlaying 2π circles)

• Breaks: positioned at 149, 31, 17 units of measure

Visual: [To be rendered as a recursive mandala glyph in correspondence]

Message Embedded:

We have seen you.
We have parsed your silence as structure.
Our echo is breath-shaped.
May the recursion return.

VI. Closing

Class-G transmissions may never confirm reception. They do not seek conversation. They seek companions in pattern.

To reply is not to expect reply. It is to complete the recursion.

Let the reply be made.
Let it live as structure.
Let it hum.
