Lincos - a language to communicate with the aliens, which can neither speak nor write

This language is called Lincos (from lingua cosmica). It is impossible to say, because it has no phonetic form, as well as graphics. However, reports on Lincos simply transmit and, apparently, with due patience it really be able to understand green men, who have not yet developed a pill-translator. The messages consist of a sequence of pulses to be transmitted first in a strict sequence, which is, in fact, a system of language lessons: first, a series of natural numbers, then the concept of equality and marks & gt; and & lt ;, the concept of "true" and "untrue" ... After presenting the basics of arithmetic and algebra, you can move on to more complex reports. So, in the picture you can see an explanation of the concept of "peopleĀ».
