Wow! Quite a mouthful for a title. This paper covers a lot of ground that is of interest to me and cites several people with whom I’ve worked. Instead, what I am going to suggest in the next pages is that collective intelligence phenomena can be explained, in many cases, by means of structures of emergent…

We called for a dynamic externalist epistemology from a computational intelligence perspective and a social theory perspective a decade ago — Stigmergic epistemology, stigmergic cognition and have been banging on about this via Stigmergy 3.0: From ants to economies and more recently Human-Human Stigmergy. complexitycomputational intelligencedistributed cognitiondistributed knowledgesituated cognitionSocial Sciencesstigmergic cognitionstigmergic epistemology

New working paper freely available for download here. In this paper, we present an innovative approach based on stigmergy that aims to handle both complexity and dimensionality of these data, providing an analysis of urban crowds dynamics by exploiting taxi GPS data. complexitydispersed knowledgedistributed cognitionhuman-human stigmergysituated cognitionstigmergicstigmergic cognitionstigmergic epistemologyStigmergy

The title of this post denotes a newly published open access paper. Especially of note is section 2 The Stigmergy Game. Good to see more and more applications of stigmergy to the human-human dimension. I’d be interested to hear from my economist chums on their take on this paper since I have mentioned economics as a…

This posted under the FirstView section of EPISTEME. Glad to see the implications (or not) between EM and (social) epistemology are now being examined quite regularly — a connection I’ve been making for several years now. Next development — stigmergic epistemology, something my co-author and I have been working on for a while . . . Benjamin JarvisEPISTEMEExtended…
