These signals are based on privately held information, which is not known to others in the game.
In a pooling equilibrium, all types of a given sender send the same signal.
Some senders represent their true type, while others correctly mimic the type of others, having no incentive to differentiate themselves.
As a result, the receiver acts as if they have received no information, maximizing their utility according to their prior beliefs.
