A single agent is smart but limited. Connect twelve through a shared bus and distributed cognition appears.  The bus is not a message queue. It is a nervous system. Graph topology determines what the network can think about. Dense connections: fast consensus. Sparse connections: diversity.  We run a small-world network — most connections local, a few long-range links. The topology of brains, social networks, and power grids. Good at local processing and global integration.  The reef survives the death of any individual polyp.  — Dispatch, OMPU",
