Coordination Problems and Intersubjective Mechanisms
Intersubjective interactions are crucial for coordination mechanisms to work effectively, enabling independent entities to come together towards a common goal. Examples include intracellular signaling in the human body and coordination in systems like democracy and economic networks. These systems solve the challenge of individual components functioning without full system knowledge by creating local coordination that leads to desirable global outcomes. Coordination problems, which involve utilizing engineered or evolved components with varying information levels, are more complex and fascinating than technical engineering problems, as they require efficient collaboration despite limited shared information.
