I’m more intrigued by all that and the potential for a mesh-net that shuttles discrete ‘memes’ like this around.
I would bet that research would show that it’s possible, but there’s bound to be pruning and errors in the payload as the ‘song’ gets passed around. So the actual practical amount of storage for a network is going to be a lot smaller. At the same time, data could be optimized to better match the bird’s memory, behaviors, and vocal limits. One might also employ different encoding strategies too, based on that fidelity information.
