Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation

Freeman Dyson's proposal to search for artificial stellar sources of infrared radiation. Both papers cite it for the observation that Earth intercepts less than a two-billionth of the Sun's light; the rest is food left uneaten. It supports premise 3 of the long arc (C3), that matter and starlight are venues for computation.
