I have long suspected that the aliens will recognize Go (the game), but (obviously) not Chess (the other game).

I suspect they will even recognize Go's 19x19 board (b/c it has properties other board sizes would not have).

But would they recognize 12 tones scales?

I've studied math books this way. Never a whole book, but certainly sections or chapters here and there. I found it gave me a much improved appreciation for the high level structure of the material (or at least of it's presentation).

docker gives you this (but only as part of a whole ecosystem, which for various reasons you might not want to hitch your horse to).
