This is a great interview. Some excerpts. Ball: I don't see how we can hope to find a 'program' that specifies the organism... It's hard to find a good analogy for talking about the genome, we don't know anything quite like it. But 'blueprint' is not a good metaphor any longer.
Fascinating conversation between @Scott_E_Page and science writer Philip Ball on life and emergent collective intelligence - just out and highly recommended! journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

A subtle analysis of the complex influence of individuals in relation to team performance, using a novel measurement tool & finding interesting patterns (such as that speaking a lot doesn’t translate into objective influence). journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Some reviews and commentary on recent books about collective intelligence - from animals to democracy: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…… Please let us know of other relevant books of interest to the CI community that we should be covering.

This work is now published @Collective_CI : journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…. Have a look!
In a new work, @wschuell1 and I model functionality of #Rust libraries in terms of active devs and upstream dependencies. When a key dev leaves, errors can spread far in the dep network. Considering both social and tech factors gives new insight into risks:bit.ly/3w00M6q
