• Can Ecosystems And Learning Systems Evolve Collective Intelligencequestion0.780
• Ecological community networks can evolve associative memory under individual-level selection (Power et al. 2015)finding0.775
  Shows that systems can learn without presupposing system-level unit of selection
• How Do Collective Cellular Networks Scale Individual Competenciesquestion0.774
• Collective intelligence exists on a spectrum across biology from cells to organismsclaim0.771
  Authors argue no sharp distinction exists between familiar animal cognition and collective behavior in cells/tissues; same principles apply across scales and substrates.
• We hypothesise that ecological models fall short of demonstrating spontaneous evolution of a new level of individuality because they are single-level networks of symmetric interactions.hypothesis0.769
  Explains limitation of current ecological connectionist models.
• Can Unsupervised Learning Mechanisms Alone Generate Collective Intelligencequestion0.764
• Neural networks and physical systems with emergent collective computational abilities (Hopfield, 1982)concept0.763
  Original Hopfield network paper; the attractor dynamics in TEM memory retrieval are a continuous version of this.
• Connectionist models of cognition and learning identify conditions where collective intelligence can arise bottom-up, using only distributed learning mechanisms without system-level or global feedback.claim0.761
  Central claim about the power of connectionism.
