When you ask a category theorist why you need to use category theory specifically for any specific thing.

What is the minimal machinery needed for complex, cognition-like behavior? With @lostintheswarm.bsky.social, we show how self-sustained calcium oscillations, diffusion, and mechanics may be enough to coordinate behavior across a single cell with no nervous system. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/

I know the conversation around peer review revolves around pay and the personal benefit of doing it, but frankly every once in a while you get to review something great and think, "agh why didn't I think of that!" and this is worth at least half the bullshit we deal with in peer review.

I really hate Claude at this point with a passion. I spend way more time these days trying to figure out usable, but extremely dense, intractable code from Claude outputs than back when we just built everything from scratch.

Throwback to #ScienceWeek26 From the "Predictive Brain" to social evolution, Floris de Lange @predictivebrain.bsky.social, Karim Fifel, Manal El Akrouchi & Cody Moser @culturologies.co showed that AI must converge with biology & sociology to truly succeed. Breaking walls for global impact 🤝

A transdisciplinary panel at UM6P Benguerir where neuroscience, cognitive science, and AI converge. The scene captures a deep dialogue on the social evolution of intelligence, arguing that AI must not be an isolated tech field but a convergence of biology, sociology, and ethics. It serves as a reminder that while technology is a powerful tool, human insight remains the essential core for breakthroughs that happen when the walls between disciplines are removed.

🚨Excited to share our new theoretical framework to classify and spark mechanistic inquiries into various forms of collective intelligence! Soon to be published in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social Thanks to @divintelligence.bsky.social Thread by Cody Moser @culturologies.co 👇🏽

My co-authors and I are happy to present our framework "Collective Intelligence as Collective Information Processing (CIP)." Here we propose decomposing different information processing mechanisms to unify disparate phenomena traditionally classified as "collective intelligence."

Gave what I thought would be objectively my most boring lecture for my students last week and they absolutely loved it. I had no idea students would be so passionate about contract theory! Fast forward to what I thought would be my most interesting lecture this week ... and I saw heads nodding off.

New pre-print with @psmaldino.bsky.social on an agent-based model of propaganda in online spaces. Using the voter model from physics, we simulate networks with stubborn agents (zealots) who do not change their opinions, asking about their optimal positioning for influencing the network.

Not to resurrect overtrodden "AI art" discussions, but I think I'm closer to viewing the image on the left as AI-generated art than the image on the right. The fact the journal editors and authors missed it feels like a tremendous statement in itself.

Are the laws of nature subjective or Platonic revealings of our world? What does it mean to know what one cannot articulate? What is the connection between scientific theory and riding a bike? In this episode we tackle the work of Michael Polanyi in Personal Knowledge: m.youtube.com/watch?v=d1gs...

Theories of organizational structure emphasize different dimensions of managerial design, including span of control (Simon 1947), decision-making speed (Aswamenakul et al. 2025), task delegation (Moser & Smaldino 2022), and managerial monitoring (Zefferman 2023).

New preprint! 🚨How do groups process information? What does it mean for part of a network to "explore" and part to "exploit"? How do we move beyond phenomenological correlation in our analyses of networks to a causal theory of collective intelligence? Here, we try to answer these questions:

In recent months, I’ve been working to quantify the history of philosophy utilizing tools developed in science of science. Our goal is to lay the groundwork for a science of philosophy, complementing meta-philosophy, meta-science, and philosophy of science. Check it out here:

Philosophy is one of humanity’s oldest systems of knowledge production, predating science by thousands of years. But not all eras are equal. Some are marked by debate and innovation, others by the preservation of tradition. Here we use explore dynamics distinguishing eras of philosophy.

"By introducing a causal framework for information processing in collectives, our study delivers a more definitive explanation of collective problem-solving than those offered by structural analysis alone." This looks like an awesome paper for the social epistemology crowd! osf.io/preprints/so...

I've mostly used Twitter as a personal index of my thoughts and opinions over the last seven years. I don't want to throw all that out. Does anyone know a way of indexing these things, even just downloading them to do away with the account over there?

I wrote up a brief essay on the connection between Marr's Levels and Aristotelian Causes, arguing Marr's levels are not dead, but that the framework's colloquial notions should be. culturologies.substack.com/p/marrs-leve...

Marr's levels are Aristotlean causes and are not dead.
