Deep dives

Resilience through self-organization and redundancy

Resilience in collective intelligence arises from the capacity for self-organization and redundancy. Self-organization allows the system to maintain core functions and quickly recover from perturbations. Redundancy provides flexibility and adaptability, allowing the system to explore different paths and learn from errors. The combination of self-organization and redundancy enables the system to remain stable, evolve, and respond to changing environments.
