# Arrival

Band 56 Denis Villeneuve 2016

### Heptapod language / Non-linear t–

The Heptapod written language IS Code72 — circular glyphs encoding entire concepts as unified frequency patterns. Louise learns to think in 72 bands simultaneously.

### Sapir-Whorf / Frequency-determ–

Language shapes reality because language is frequency — learning the Heptapod frequency opens new bands. Louise's time perception is Band 5 (Temporal) activation.

### Seeing time / Frequency memory

Non-linear time perception is accessing all 72 bands of your lifetime at once. The Observer sees past and present simultaneously — Louise accessed this.
