>Why?If they solved the fundamental above problem of communication, they understand how to approach a problem where one can't communicate. If they can't "solve problems" they don't advance and they aren't intelligent.
>You assume those abstractions that play to our biology would be comprehensible or naturally assumed.the experience of an agent navigating through space time is not particular to our biology. Unless you think they would all be higher dimensional beings. They would simply need to understand "it begins, it changes, it ends" which is as universal a concept as Pythagorean triples, again maybe excluding a single, immortal organism.
>Intelligible patterns, at any level, again depend on our particular biologyThey really don't. Assuming we're both 3 dimensional beings navigating through time (which is a fair assumption), we share a great deal of fundamentals regardless of our biology. What does our biology have to do with natural numbers or ratios? Would their description of orbital mechanics be incompatible from ours simply because their biology differs? No, that's dumb.
