Communication

What are the elements of effective communication?
Lack of ambiguity. A clear signal. Redundancy, error-checking. Language and protocol, for sure. Timing has to be a big one.
Encoding and encryption.

None of that matters of course, if you're not really sure what it is you are sending out. And of course, all is subject to meta-communication factors.

Could it be that the only perfect communication is absolute silence?
