One CI pioneer, George Pór, defined the collective intelligence [phenomenon] as "the capacity of human communities to evolve towards higher order complexity and [[harmony]], through such innovation mechanisms as differentiation and [[integration]], competition and collaboration."[2] Tom Atlee and George Pór state that "collective intelligence also involves achieving a single [[focus]] of attention and standard of metrics which provide an appropriate threshold of action". Their approach is rooted in Scientific [[Community]] [[Metaphor]]. | One CI pioneer, George Pór, defined the collective intelligence [phenomenon] as "the capacity of human communities to evolve towards higher order complexity and [[harmony]], through such innovation mechanisms as differentiation and [[integration]], competition and collaboration."[2] Tom Atlee and George Pór state that "collective intelligence also involves achieving a single [[focus]] of attention and standard of metrics which provide an appropriate threshold of action".
