• Stress sharing is a simple, robust mechanism for enabling emergent collective problem-solving without explicit altruism.claim0.909
• Stress sharing serves as a 'cognitive glue' for collective intelligences, enabling cooperation without explicit altruism by de-localizing incentive to work toward group goalsclaim0.884
• Stress sharing works to increase cohesiveness of collectives.claim0.862
  Interpretation of why stress sharing improves morphogenesis.
• Stress sharing is an easy way to achieve robustness in collectives made up of homeostatic subunits.claim0.856
  Generalization of the model's implications.
• Stress sharing works to increase cohesiveness of collectives by raising exploratory plasticity in neighboring cells, enabling long-distance cell influencehypothesis0.845
• Stress sharing will be favored by evolutionary processes.hypothesis0.832
  Evolutionary fitness hypothesis tested in the GA.
• 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).quote0.825
  Encapsulates the core idea of stress sharing as collective cooperation.
• Stress sharing improves morphogenetic efficiency of multicellular collectives.claim0.822
  Central interpretive claim supported by multiple findings.
