“It is a mistake to assume that effective coordination will result if we take nodes that are individually good problem solvers and then simply give these nodes a communication interface so that they can exchange messages. Coordination is not achieved just through exchanging information; nodes must reason about what that information represents and how exchanging information will affect their individual and group behavior performance. (Durfee et. al, 1989)”
I guess brilliant computer scientists are doing just as great as the philosophers in exploring truth.
