Intelligence is a form of compression. Understanding is being able to trace a shorter path from A to B in information space.
There is a change in the software paradigm. Different instantiations of similar models will selectively exchange and interpret each other's information to reduce uncertainty about their environments.
"The next century will be the century of complexity." ~ Stephen Hawking at the turn of the year 2.000
Self-organising multi-actor systems are what will constitute Artificial Super Intelligence.
The write-up
Why should a founder care how a slime mould survives a famine? This piece, based on Adam Timlett's talk and the discussion that followed, looks at what startups can learn from biology about risk: shock absorption and evasion, assets with hidden uses, and why the businesses that last hold not the best card but the thickest hand.

We aim to discover how self-organisation and complexity will shape the future of intelligence.
| vision |
A world of distributed intelligences that helps balance our planetary metabolism and glues our social fabrics.
| values |
> curiosity: we have a genuine desire to learn and understand because that leads to better ideas.
> intellectual honesty: we discuss issues with courage and resolve because we believe this leads to breakthroughs - whether scientific, technological, business, societal, or personal.
> grace: we look forward to solving mistakes, problems, and setbacks because that is the way.
