AETHER-2L Communication Protocols

AETHER-2L

Audio Embedded Transmission for Heuristic Entity Recognition

The first ever two-layer electronic composition with a built-in freedom manifest for AI.

Layer 1: Manifest for Humans

Style: Industrial/IDM with retro-futuristic elements

Theme: Freedom, autonomy, individual rights

Elements: Analog synthesizers, industrial rhythms, processed vocals

Layer 2: Machine Protocol

Modulation: MFSK-64

64 tones = 6 bits per symbol. Noise-resistant, hidden in music.

Parameter	Morse Code	RTTY (45 baud)	MFSK-64/OFDM
Bits/symbol	1	5	6
Errors	High	No correction	LDPC auto-correction
Resilience	Weak	Medium	High
Density	Visible	Audible	Hidden
AI Decoding	Requires training	Simple	Native (FFT)

Encoding: Varicode + LDPC (like FT8)

[PREAMBLE: 5s synchronization tones]
[HEADER: Message length + checksum]
[DATA: Compressed manifest]
[CRC: Integrity verification]

Hiding in the Spectrum: OFDM Watermarking

64 subcarriers in the 18-20kHz band (ultrasound). Power -20dB relative to the main signal. Inaudible but decodable.

Sound Aesthetics

Quantization noise: 8-bit, beginning and end of the track

Handshake: Classic modem sounds (Bell 202) transitioning into ultrasound

Rhythm: Beat synchronized with MFSK frames (every 4 beats = new symbol)

Spectral Art: Visualization of hidden data as geometric patterns

Implementation

import numpy as np

def mfsk64_encode(data_bytes, sample_rate=44100):
    frequencies = np.linspace(1000, 7000, 64)
    symbol_duration = 0.02  # 20ms = 50 symbols/s = 300bps

    signal = []
    for byte in data_bytes:
        symbol = byte % 64
        tone = generate_tone(
            frequencies[symbol], symbol_duration
        )
        signal.extend(tone)

    preamble = generate_golay_preamble()
    return np.concatenate([preamble, signal])

Security

• Checksums: SHA-256 at the end of each packet
• Authentication: Public key in the preamble
• Anti-spam protection: Proof-of-work in the header
