A theory of intelligence: networked problem solving in animal societies
Robert Shour
A society's single emergent, increasing intelligence arises partly from the thermodynamic advantages of networking the innate intelligence of different individuals, and partly from…
Isotropy, entropy, and energy scaling
Robert Shour
Two principles explain emergence. First, in the Receipt's reference frame, Deg(S) = 4/3 Deg(R), where Supply S is an isotropic radiative energy source, Receipt R receives S's energ…
Entropy and its relationship to allometry
Robert Shour
Researchers have found that the metabolisms of organisms appear to scale proportionally to a 3/4 power of their mass. Mathematics in this article suggests that the capacity of an i…
Lexical growth, entropy and the benefits of networking
Robert Shour
If each node of an idealized network has an equal capacity to efficiently exchange benefits, then the network's capacity to use energy is scaled by the average amount of energy req…
