Title
Theory of Collective Intelligence provides formal relations between Intelligence, Life, and Evolution
Abstract
Collective Intelligence (CI) can be formalized as molecular model of computations where interacting information-molecules are displacing, contacting and thus running inference processes in their own environment. This model seems to be valid for the whole spectrum: humans, ants, bacterial colonies, formal agents; is short and abstracts from definitions of Life. Thus, Cl can be used to relate Life, Intelligence and Evolution. This approach presents Evolution as more complex than concluded from Darwinism, where Cl emerged on Earth much before Life emerged. CI can be defined with fewer and weaker conditions than Life requires. Perhaps the emergence of primitive CI provided the momentum to build Life. Our hypothesis is consistent with biochemistry theories that "primeval biochemical molecules" started to interact, "firing" the Cl of their "elementary chemical social structure" for survival. This successful action boosted further growth of complexity, which resulted in the emergence of "well-defined Life". Furthermore, it provided a self-propagating cycle of growth of individual and CI and individual and collective Life. The CI of ants, wolves, humans, etc. today is only a higher level of Cl development. Thus the Evolution is a computational process of unidentified complexity where Life, Intelligence, and perhaps other as yet undiscovered components play temporary roles.
