measurable group-level intelligence — discovered by Woolley et al. (2010)
c is the first principal component across diverse group tasks, analogous to g (general intelligence) for individuals
c predicts group performance on novel tasks better than average or max individual IQ
what correlates with c:
- equal distribution of speaking turns
- average social sensitivity of group members
- cognitive style diversity
what does not correlate: team cohesion, motivation, satisfaction
in cyber: the cybergraph naturally maximizes c conditions
- equal speaking turns → any neuron can create cyberlinks proportional to focus
- social sensitivity → the tri-kernel amplifies links that resonate across many agents
- cognitive diversity → the system includes humans, AI, sensors, animals, robots, progs
