A potential mental model: we cannot communicate. I need to *imply* a computer program by giving you a file to parse, based on the file contents, but I also need to create the file contents based on what you would also want the file contents to be given that we have the shared goal of independently writing a program to parse the file. Therefore we do not need to share anything and can write the program. Is this possible?

I realise I'm probably defining some sort of universal truth solver, but I was thinking more along the lines of the voyager record.

The 3- Body Problem deals with bootstrapping communication.

What can we assume about those attempting to communicate? Human beings? English language? Intent to communicate? If the end goal is communication through digital networks, it seems like a xenolinguistics model might have some parallels.
