This board often rises as an excellent example of what has been called "swarm intelligence."
1989 Gerardo Beni and Jing Wang introduced the expression “swarm intelligence” (SI) in the context of cellular robotic systems. Marco Dorigo (b.1961) helped found the field. It describes the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, natural or artificial. The concept is employed in work on artificial intelligence. (Econ, 8/14/10, p.65)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm_intelligence)
At other times it ebbs into "swarm nonsense," for which I do not have a good reference.
