Abstract

Collective Intelligence (CI) is formalized through a molecular model of computations and mathematical logic in terms of information_molecules quasi-chaotically displacing and running natural-based inference processes in the environment. CI abstracts from definitions of a communication system and Life. The formalization of CI is valid for social structures of humans, ants, and bacterial colonies. A simple extrapolation of the definition of CI suggests that a basic form of CI emerged on Earth in the "chemical soup of primeval molecules", before well-defined Life did, since CI is defined with fewer and weaker conditions than Life is. Perhaps that early, elementary CI provided basic momentum to build primitive Life. This successful action boosted a further self-propagating cycle of growth of CI and Life. The CI of ants, wolves, humans, etc. today is only a higher level of CI development. In this paper we provide formalization and a proposed partial proof for this hypothesis.
