Scale to collectives: Stress sharing (load balancers) + Memory anonymization (checklists from crashes) = Joint Markov Blankets.
We become one mind by synchronizing our generative models—"sheet music" for social coordination.

Despite overwhelming evidence for the collective and diverse nature of intelligence. There is a deep-seated existential insecurity—a fear that if we recognize intelligence in other entities, our own unique status diminishes. (Levin, 2024)
