I think cetaceans use sound to broadcast visual and emotional holographs to each other, and as humans we could do good by being stewards of the differing specie and steer their linguistics together somehow.

Conservation through cognitive neuroscience and linguistics.

Can dolphins communicate with sperm whales? What if they could?

I've seen this idea before, that cetaceans might basically project ideas holographically.

Is there any evidence for this ? Or is the idea simply rooted in the possibilities of sound ?

Genuinely curious here.

Thanks, feel free to email me if you can dig up anything or ever want to spitball ideas. Email address is in my profile.

I've poked around lightly and didn't see anything vis a vis holographs, but I'm going to do a second pass - someone has to be onto this path in some paper somewhere.

No evidence whatsoever, just intuition.

If Alice and Bob are both cetaceans, communicating via underwater acoustics, what are they trying to say to each other? And do they understand each other?

I guess my thought is that non-symbolic communication in the black and seamless sea implies something more.
