I just realized that what we have been calling swarm intelligence is not very different from our single agent intelligence. They are all dealing with information diffusion. Using the diffusion, swarm intelligence shares the global information with dumb agents. Our brain, on the other hand, is using information diffusion (using Ca as an agent) as a way to regulate neuron firing rate. This is also a way to share the global firing status with each neuron.
It is even more interesting if we think of it as a hierarchical model. āSingle agentā is using smaller agents for their own intelligence. A āsingle agentā is also a part of a larger agent.
In the end, we are just part of Gaia.
