  • At birth, I think Tanin interprets pattern 1, ā€œothers are a groupā€.
    • Iā€™m assuming that what I tell A, B gets it too.
    • Iā€™d rather think they know what Iā€™m thinking without having to put it into words.
  • Developmental process moves to Pattern 2 ā€œothers are individualsā€ interpretation with the observation that ā€œthey donā€™t get the messageā€.
    • But this interpretation goes too far.
      • Itā€™s possible that A and B are exchanging information in ways that you canā€™t see.
  • For example, a man X motions to one of a group of women, Ms. A
    • Mr. A responds with ā€œnot bad, but weā€™ve only just gotten to know each otherā€ +/- 100 points, about +10.
    • Here, Mr. X thinks, ā€œIā€™ll take a few hitsā€ and makes a motion to Mr. B as well.
    • If this information is shared between A and B, A and B will both assess -100, and this information will be widely disseminated to women who have not yet been approached by X, who is connected to A and B, and they will all assess -100.
    • X, who is unaware of this principle, is trapped in the interpretation of ā€œothers are individualsā€ more than the actual reality.
  • For example, scammer X brings a good story to Mr. A.
    • Mr. A was not deceived because he had heard the story of how Mr. B was almost deceived
  • what does that mean?
    • Individuals that understand the defensive advantages of swarming actively exchange information to form virtual swarms
    • Predators are more efficient at attacking individuals that are isolated from the herd.
