• By sharing stress with neighbors, one cell’s (or region’s) problem becomes everyone’s problem, leading to a higher willingness to adopt new configurations in which everyone’s free energy is lower (and thus, more optimal morphogenetic problem-solving).quote0.777
  Encapsulates the core idea of stress sharing as collective cooperation.
• The collective often displays new behaviors or preferences that are not simply the sum of individual cell behaviors.claim0.768
