Discovering Adaptive Transmission Programs for Collective Innovation
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.24545v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human collective intelligence depends on transmission processes: who shares what with whom, how, and when. While these processes emerge from individual cognition, they can also be directed by deliberate top-down protocols. Prior work has studied how transmission shapes collective outcomes primarily through the lens of network structure, varying who shares with whom and when. But networks are state-agnostic: they cannot condition transmission on what agents know or on the state of the collective. Here, we formalize transmission protocols as state-
