It could be that SETI signals have arrived at the Earth, but are lower then the noise level, and our receivers cannot detect them. ... Fig. ... It follows that two zones form around the star with civilization X: "Zone Yes", where its SETI signal can be detected, and "Zone No", where its signals are hidden by noise (Fig. ... In practice, it is more efficient to use a time factor, since the problem of SETI contact does not limit the duration of the signal element and semantic text. ...
