- AKA: Collaborative Intelligence.
- Context:
- It can leverage the diverse expertise and perspectives of its components, such as Ant Colonies, Research Teams, or Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), to solve complex problems, make decisions, or generate innovative ideas.
- It can operate under the principle that the whole's intelligence, achieved through mechanisms like Coordination, Communication, and Collective Learning, can surpass the sum of its parts' intelligence.
- It can range from Natural Systems, like ecosystems, to Engineered Systems, such as software networks, where Conflict Resolution, Consensus Building, and Cooperative Behavior are employed to enhance collective decision-making processes.
