THE BOOK. “In his book of the same name, Minsky constructs a model of human intelligence step by step, built up from the interactions of simple parts called agents, which are themselves mindless. He describes the postulated interactions as constituting a "society of mind", hence the title.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Mind View in LinkedIn

SQUID EMBRYOGENESIS. "In the squid-vibrio system, a complex organ forms during embryogenesis that facilitates subsequent colonization by the symbiotic bacterium Vibrio fischeri." http://www.pnas.org/content/110/9/3229.full View in LinkedIn

SIMPLE AGENTS. “The main idea of the society of mind theory is that human minds work as a society of interacting agents which are mindless. The model is built layer by layer from the interactions of these simple agents. Human intelligence is that they work together.” https://lnkd.in/d-5HkQF View in LinkedIn

MILIEU INTÉRIEUR. "Ample evidence shows that microbes act directly as agents of postembryonic development. For example, fucosyltransferases decorate the surface of the embryonic mammalian intestine with fucose residues that provide a nutrient source for gut microbes, including B. thetaiotaomicron, as they colonize the newborn." http://www.pnas.org/content/110/9/3229.full View in LinkedIn

COMPLETE WORK. “The Society of Mind summarizes a lifetime of work by a founder of and perhaps the most influential single individual in the field of Artificial Intelligence.” https://lnkd.in/dkTGTAb View in LinkedIn

INHERITED BACTERIA. "Unlike vertebrates whose embryos develop inside enclosures that physically block bacterial associations, many invertebrates acquire their symbionts through the female germ line." http://www.pnas.org/content/110/9/3229.full View in LinkedIn

NON-INTELLIGENT PARTS. “Minsky and Papert also developed what came to be called The Society of Mind theory, which attempts to explain how intelligence could be a product of the interaction of non-intelligent parts.

EMERGENT PHENOMENA. "Out of the interactions between these simple units emerges complex behavior, patterns, and intelligence. Here we’re talking about the result we are hoping for in our sketches. Yes, we know this happens in nature (ant colonies, termites, migration patterns, earthquakes, snowflakes, etc.)." http://natureofcode.com/book/chapter-6-autonomous-agents/ View in LinkedIn
