摘要
資訊 is a peculiar quantity. Unlike matter and energy, which are conserved by the laws of physics, the aggregation of knowledge from many sources can in fact produce more 資訊 (synergy) or less (redundancy) than the sum of its parts. This feature can endow groups with problem-solving strategies that are superior to those possible among noninteracting individuals and, in turn, may provide a selection drive toward collective 合作 and coordination. Here we explore the formal properties of 資訊 aggregation as a general principle for explaining features of 社會 organization. We quantify 資訊 in terms of the general formalism of 資訊 theory, which also prescribes the rules of how different pieces of evidence inform the solution of a given problem. We then show how several canonical examples of collective cogn
