Claims (2)
- The collective often displays new behaviors or preferences that are not simply the sum of individual cell behaviors.Key property of collective intelligence: emergent behaviors at the group level.
- Human preference voting measures popularity, not phenomenology or what mode a model was in when producing output.
Findings (2)
- Keratocytes migrate to the cathode, but keratocyte fragments migrate to the anode (Sun et al. 2013)Shows that collective behavior of an intact cell differs fundamentally from the behavior of its parts.
- Pre-somitic mesoderm cells do not oscillate independently but resume oscillating when cultured collectively (Webb et al. 2016)Collectivity is necessary for the oscillatory behavior of the segmentation clock; individual cells lack the competence.
