00 / The hook

Whale scientist secretly joins NSA to decipher alien transmission Real science, no PhD required.

1420MHz is a sci-fi language deciphering game. You've spent your career finding patterns in the clicks and codas of whales, second only to humans in linguistic complexity. Then the NSA picks up a directed signal at 1420 megahertz, the hydrogen line. Someone is aiming it at us. They bring you in, because you're the closest thing the planet has to an expert in non-human languages.

Three-act loop

Act 01
Process the signal
Source → Filter → FFT → Sink

Build flowgraphs from modular DSP nodes. Filter noise, lock onto the carrier wave.

Act 02
Translate the language
Morpheme → Word → Syntax

Find repeating patterns, segment word boundaries, reconstruct grammar from first principles.

Act 03
Interpret the meaning
Math → Physics → Meaning

Apply signal physics and reconstructed grammar to read the message. It starts with mathematics, then physics, then beyond, building a shared vocabulary from universal principles.
