Howard Bloom
Pour Howard Bloom, l’actuelle « révolution Internet » n’est que la continuation du « cerveau global » par d’autres moyens. Il entend par là l’intelligence collective construite par l’humanité, vue comme un système adaptatif complexe – le réseau des cerveaux étant, à l’échelle collective, ce que le réseau des neurones est à l’échelle de chaque intelligence individuelle. Démonstration : Notre intelligence collective est constituée sur la base d’une architecture distribuée ; elle se perfectionne constamment par un ensemble de mécanismes adaptatifs issus de la réaction d’optimisation spontanée générée par l’addition des décisions individuelles. Cette optimisation est dans une large mesure l’objectif inconscient poursuivi par les individus, qui, bien qu’ils ne le sachent pas eux-mêmes, ne parviennent que très exceptionnellement à se penser isolément de la structure d’ensemble (être utile au groupe est un besoin fondamental de la psyché humaine, comme en réalité chez tous les êtres vivants).
Le cerveau global (H. Bloom)
A book by Howard Bloom . The full title is Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century . 1st ed. copyright 2000, published by John Wiley & Sons , Inc. The book is divided into 21 chapters and a prologue, plus substantial reference sections that take up a good third of the pages of this text. This tome tells a story, the story, if you will, of life on Earth . The prologue summarizes the book nicely, and is probably worth reading again after you finish the book to give you a better handle on all the things Bloom unleashes over the course of its pages.

Review: Global Brain
by Ervin Laszlo, PhD Science and the Akashic Field presents the unifying world-concept long sought by scientists, mystics, and sages: an Integral Theory of Everything. Explains how modern science has rediscovered the Akashic Field of perennial philosophy New edition updates ongoing scientific studies, presents new research inspired by the first edition, and includes new case studies and a section on animal telepathy Mystics and sages have long maintained that there exists an interconnecting cosmic field at the roots of reality that conserves and conveys information, a field known as the Akashic record. Recent discoveries in vacuum physics show that this Akashic Field is real and has its equivalent in science’s zero-point field that underlies space itself.

Metasystem transition
A metasystem transition is the emergence , through evolution , of a higher level of organization or control . Prime examples are the origin of life , the transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms, the emergence of eusociality or symbolic thought . A metasystem is formed by the integration of a number of initially independent components, such as molecules , cells or individuals, and the emergence of a system steering or controlling their interactions. As such, the collective of components becomes a new, goal-directed individual , capable of acting in a coordinated way. This metasystem is more complex , more intelligent , and more flexible in its actions than the initial component systems. The concept of metasystem transition was introduced by the cybernetician Valentin Turchin in his 1977 book " The Phenomenon of Science ", and developed among others by Francis Heylighen in the Principia Cybernetica Project.
Global Brain Institute
The following list of "Frequently Asked Questions" is largely inspired by the discussions on the global brain mailing list, although not all participants may agree with all the answers I have written down. Although I have tried to as accurately as possible render the ideas of other global brain researchers, this FAQ is obviously biased by my own understanding of the issue. I wish to thank V. Turchin, C. Joslyn and J.

Simulating the Global Brain with MATLAB
Evo Busseniers (GBI VUB) Abstract: This talk will present a computer simulation, done with Matlab, of the challenge propagation model.Francis Heylighen (GBI,VUB) Abstract: The present talk will report on the on-going research of the Global Brain Institute with the aim of developing a mathematically founded computer simulation of the global brain, and summarize the main results up to now. The global brain can be defined as the distributed intelligence emerging from the network of all people on this planet connected via the Internet and related technologies. The present talk proposes the foundations for a mathematical model of the self-organization of such a network towards increasing intelligence. The assumption is that the network becomes increasingly efficient in routing the right information to the right people, so that problems and opportunities can be addressed in the most efficient way possible by coordinating the actions of many people.
Foundations for a Mathematical Model of the Global Brain
Institutions execute large trades over time by slicing them into small pieces that can be digested by electronic markets. The market sets a fair price to provide the liquidity at which each slice can be filled; each slice moving the price a little bit. Over time these liquidity-driven price moves can accrue to become quite large. Understanding market impact of large trades is important for those providing liquidity, but also for the returns of pension funds and to estimate the liquidation values of portfolios with large holdings. For many years Kyle’s well-established impact theory predicted that market impact per share should grow linearly with the trade size, yet practitioners observe that impact appears to be a square root function. How does the collective behavior of market practitioners lead to a contradiction with theory?

The Global Brain Video The video of the book has become even more well-known than the book itself. This groundbreaking presentation is now available on DVD . It can also be watched as a video stream on this site. In The Global Brain Peter Russell shows that humanity has reached a crossroads in its evolutionary path.

These different entities constitute an interesting focal sub-system of whatever is to be understood by an emerging global brain - for which the "problems" might be understood as "neuroses", if not "tumours".

Crowd Computing and The Synaptic Web
From the page : "This emerging Synaptic Web is the beginning of a planetary intelligence. The Synaptic Web is our collective stream of consciousness, although the global brain itself is far from conscious yet. It cannot reason or think yet. The global brain is still dorment, like a baby in a womb, slowly developing its neocortex and silently observing us…
