HISTORICAL TRANSMISSION DESCRIPTION

“Transmission For Empathy Building and also for the enjoyment of Non Humanoid Earth Lifeforms. We like to cater for everyone and everything :)”

This description is preserved as a historical document of how the recording was understood. It is not presented as a scientific claim.

LATER READING

The title and description widen the field of concern beyond humans. Its place near the beginning of Lights Arise supports a retrospective reading about attention to non-human life.

UNRESOLVED

When was the recording actually created? When was its title chosen? When was the transmission description written? Did its position in the final sequence reflect an original intention or a later recognition?
