Connection does not produce collective decision: technology supplies anyone-with-anyone, but acting as one whole needs everyone-with-everyone, and that bottleneck sits in shared meaning, not in channels. Ansary, ch. 31: we could solve our problems "if only we could all sign on to a single plan of action", yet "Anyone with anyone is not the same as everyone with everyone. Technology can give us anyone with anyone, but everyone with everyone is a different kind of problem"; "we live in a great many different worlds of meaning, and that's a problem that exists in the realm of language, not technology"; the shared big picture "makes us intelligible to one another" but "less intelligible to people outside our narrative." That this qualifies C-7W7RGD6BT1 (agents scale anyone-with-anyone, which is not the binding constraint) is Leo's step.

We have trouble making decisions as one whole species because we live in a great many different worlds of meaning, and that's a problem that exists in the realm of language, not technology.
groundsSource document
The big picture we share makes us intelligible to one another, thereby empowering us to operate as a social constellation, but it makes us less intelligible to people outside our narrative.

In this age of information, we tend to intercommunicate with those who share our terms of discourse.
