We pause to consider _Wiki Nature_, a concept mentioned by Ward in passing, but one that speaks to a deeper truth of the creative process.
Wiki Nature was first described in the original wiki, through multiple attempts to describe that which was difficult to describe. These attempts started here:
>WikiNature is typing in a bunch of book titles, coming back a day later, and finding them turned into birds in the Amazon. wiki

I once described "wiki nature" as "strangers learning to trust each other to the degree that they can make something important together". There is no science here, just an observation. Complexity people speak of corse-graining at the edge of chaos which has something to do with this nature. Iain Couzin has, as much as any researcher, reduced these observations to controlled experiments. Here find excerpts from a recent podcast interview where he discusses methods and discoveries. page
