Why do we assume alien beings would be pattern seekers like us?
The human mind seeks patterns. We seek commonalities because our nervous system is necessarily limited. So we compress via analogy things we consider to be similar.
But what of a being that was not hampered by the need for compressibility of knowledge, as we humans are?
A being with memory but had no need for pattern seeking for internal compression of what we consider similar concepts, might consider all things unique and different. It may not even need to categorize anything. it might have no need to simplify _anything_.
We may see two apples. They may not even see a “two” of anything.
