You have no evidence to claim any knowledge of how an advanced intelligence would program a computer. What if alien computers are so powerful that efficiency, as we know it, doesn't matter at all? Idle speculation at best.
Stating conclusions is NOT an argument. What are your reasons for believing that an alien race would do things more Mathematically? So far you have stated exactly none. I expect more from people who purport to be at least be thinking about advanced intelligence. David Clark -----Original Message----- From: John G.

To accomplish a particular task when writing a program a human software engineer will accomplish the task in one way during one attempt. An advanced intelligence would write the program in a "better" way, agree? What is better? If one looks at resources consumed while the application is running to accomplish a goal that is a form of being better if it uses generally less resources, while at the same time being modular and dynamic would also be "better". One human software engineer produces code differently from another, why? What is the optimal way to write an application? Is the optimal way a direct reflection of the k-complexity into the execution space and language of a particular OS and computer? No. It's not that simple. BUT an advanced intelligence would find more intelligent ways to represent thus. What I am saying here is that this "better" way would be more mathematically dense. Then that leads to the question of what do I mean by "mathematically dense"? In that "density" is where intelligence is represented or injected. It is not a maximum density, a k-complexity, but an efficient "density".. at the same time being modular and dynamic. BTW you don't have to buy into this as I am not proving anything here but I assume it is intuitively obvious to some.
