What kinds of functional relationships and specific organisation turn a collective that is not intelligent into a collective that is?question0.884
Central research question organizing the paper; addresses necessary and sufficient conditions for collective intelligence.
What kinds of interaction structures are necessary for what kind of collective intelligence and how can these structures emerge?question0.863
Key unresolved question; identifies critical knowledge gaps for understanding collective intelligence across scales.
The complex nature of functional relationships between component parts begins to look less like the product of selection at the system level, and more like the source of evolutionary individuality.claim0.814
Inverts the causal arrow: relationships produce individuality, not vice versa.
Functional relationships necessary for evolutionary individuality are the same as those required for organismic individuality and constitute cognitive architectures.hypothesis0.811
Functional relationships required for new individuality level encode non-linearly separable functions and are enacted via information integration and collective actionhypothesis0.811
For an intelligence to belong properly to a collective, it must arise not from the cleverness of its members but from having the right kind of functional relationships between them.concept0.808
Integration and collective action (basal cognition) mechanisms enact the functional relationships necessary for new individuality.hypothesis0.807
Proposes biological mechanisms implementing non-decomposable functions in developmental individuality.
The kind of relationships necessary to produce evolutionary individuality – the generation and heritability of fitness differences at the collective level – are the same as those required to produce organismic individuality – the information integration and collective action characteristic of a self.claim0.806
Core conjecture linking evolutionary and organismic individuality.
