Abstract

This book revolves around the premise that N > 1. Some basic principles that emerge from the material and discussions in this book are presented here. Some of these suggestions are orthodox, others go against currently accepted wisdom in the xenological community. The chapter is divided into a brief discussion of principles, and a few concrete suggestions concerning how to interact with ETI, which emerge from the text.
