This is the sort of thing I’d expect to see in a naïve approach to a
spatially extended UTM. Without some process to clean it up, like
dreaming, there would be more and more agents coming to contradictory
conclusions. When a call is made to vote on a decision there would
much wasted motion in the cancellations where the heat of many weak
learners might overwhelm the light from a few strong learners.
Gee that sounds a bit like the d(r)eadlock of our polarized two-party
system today?
