Reading this I get this weird feeling that something there is trying to communicate, which is equally horrifying as the alternative - we are alone, our minds are trying to find order in chaos, there is no meaning except what we create.
The alternative to something trying to communicate through a Markov model isn’t that we’re alone. Just because there’s no life on Mars doesn’t mean there’s no other life in the universe.
I had the same feeling while testing the code. It might be caused by seeing the increasingly coherent output of the different models, makes you feel like it's getting smarter.
