Here's How We Could Begin Decoding an Alien Message Using Math

Slashdot reader silverjacket writes:Researchers at Oxford and elsewhere developed a method that figures out the most likely number and size of dimension in which to format a string of bits, with applications to interpreting messages from extraterrestrial intelligence (METI), if we were to receive them.
The new method "looks at every possible combination of dimension number and size," according to Science News:
The researchers also measure each possible configuration's global order by seeing how
