Conjecture

A collective has to be able both to act as one and to let its members work independently, and only a near-critical system does both; hard-wiring strong links between agents (mandatory consensus, shared context everywhere, tight coupling) buys unity at the cost of independent work, so coordination should come from loose local links that can produce collective action when needed, not from strong global ones.
