Secondly, several authors have proposed that we cannot think of intelligence as nicely encapsulated within a single person’s brain. This justifies our focus on idea-linking between different people. As a starting point, we should realize that cognition of individuals is already distributed (Hollan 2000). As Minsky writes in Society of Mind, “...each brain contains hundreds of different types of machines, interconnected in specific ways which predestine that brain to become a large, diverse society of partially specialized agencies” (Minsky 1988). Given that an individual’s intelligence resides in the way that these agencies of the mind are organized in specific ways, and given the fact that a society of individuals is organized in specific ways, it is natural to suspect that a society can have “intelligence” on a higher level than that of the individual. As Salomon writes, “People think in conjunction and partnership with others and with the help of culturally provided tools and implements” (Salomon 1997).
