In: s/permacomputing

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.

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?
