The reliability of an evaluator panel depends on effective error independence, not nominal model or vendor count; correlated errors must be measured and consequential cases escalated beyond model voting.
Several evaluators improve reliability only when their errors contain sufficiently independent information. Models with different names, versions, or vendors may share training data, architectures, benchmarks, prompt con
Much socially useful knowledge is distributed across participants rather than available to one central decision-maker.
Coordination problems often depend on observations, skills, practical judgments, and changing circumstances held by different people and organizations. A center may gather reports or construct useful summaries without po
Some knowledge is local, tacit, embodied, relational, or rapidly changing and can lose important content when centralized or summarized; aggregation can also create new knowledge by exposing base rates, patterns, and comparisons unavailable locally.
Knowledge can depend on practice, timing, relationships, physical context, or distinctions that are difficult to articulate outside the setting in which they matter. Reporting and summarization may remove those cues or m
Prices, scores, votes, rankings, maps, and summaries can coordinate attention and action by compressing distributed information, but compression can discard decision-relevant context.
A compressed signal reduces many observations or judgments to a form that bounded participants can compare and act upon. That reduction can lower coordination cost, reveal system-level patterns, and direct scarce attenti
Cognitive diversity can improve difficult problem solving when participants are sufficiently capable and use meaningfully different representations or search strategies.
Different representations and heuristics can direct capable problem solvers toward different regions of a difficult solution space, increasing the chance that the group discovers an approach unavailable to a more uniform
Independence among judgments can improve aggregation, while social influence can create confident convergence without improved accuracy.
Aggregation can reduce error when judgments reflect partly independent information or reasoning paths; shared mistakes are not canceled by combining them. Interaction can improve reasoning by transmitting useful informat
