“Humans have taken advantage of this sensitivity by using artificial sounds to assist in capturing a variety of cetacean species in many parts of the world. Two general types of sound have been used to help capture cetaceans: a variety of ‘low-tech’ sounds used to help drive small cetaceans into shallow bays or nets or make them strand; and more sophisticated sonar-related devices (ASDIC) used to track or scare large whales.”

“During the New Britain Trench experiment we sent two small submersible to go down to the deepest depths there. One was remotely operated by humans. The other one was operated by an onboard autonomous system. We were testing the contact scenario, you see. The human-operated submersible attempted to interpret the cetacean signals, using algorithms to analyze the frequency and patterns of the sounds. The cetacean-logic driven submersible responded with a series of structured signals, trying to establish a form of dialogue. However, the human logic is linear and focused on data exchange, while the cetacean logic is more fluid and context-driven, emphasizing emotional connection and social bonding. In the end, the cetacean submersible perceived the human signals as a form of play, and it responded by increasing the complexity of its responses, incorporating more varied sounds and movements. This led to a playful interaction, where the cetacean submersible circled the human submersible, creating a dynamic exchange of signals. That's all we've got. Not enough for a contact. Not yet.”

“We human beings have little to compare ourselves to apart from other human beings and lower forms of life. Whenever we assess our capabilities we do so in comparison with our colleagues. Arguably, this gives us a very biased view of ourselves and makes us vulnerable to a self-centered interpretation of our environment in general and more specifically the events that occur within that environment. we are situated in our environment not only in terms of our physical existence but also in terms of our psychological needs and understanding of ourselves. We depend on our surroundings for both our mental and physical well being and stability. Consequently, we view with a great deal of anxiety and discomfort anything that threatens to separate us from our environment or comes between us and our familiar surroundings. This is the main reason why we cannot engage in a face-to-face contact with non-human intelligent beings. The contact must be mediated through drones and, in our present case, submersibles.”

“Detecting signs of intelligent life is based on algorithms that process unusual patterns of bioluminescence or complex sonar signals. The environment would be alien, filled with bioluminescent organisms and geological formations that surely will challenge our current understanding. Cetacean logic is rooted in the social and emotional intelligence of whales and dolphins, and it offers a distinct advantage in this scenario. That's the logic the algoritms of the underwater drone for Europa's oceans exploration encode.”
