Thank you very much Doug!

Probably due to lack of time, your previous short answer produced too 
much of turbulence in my head. :)

This kind of uncertainty is normal for situational intelligence. 
However, when seen in theoretical matters like our discussion below, it 
may lead to an idea that we are referring to different "collective 
memories", if collective at all, and not individual.

As an example, I tried to look into a difference between civic and 
collective intelligence. This page is not seen on the first Google page.
The topic exists on LiM:
http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/w/page/109928029/Civic%20Intelligence%20vs%20Collective%20Intelligence
but the content is yet to be produced.
To my feeling Civic is not a type but an application of Collective 
Intelligence. I can't see what makes Civic so much different from 
Collective. Your comments would be appreciated.

Another question I would appreciate to discuss and hopefully agree on:
our collective (agent's) nature.
I have only a feeling of possibility of collective.
I will have a knowledge of collective only when seeing how our 
collective memories, "personal associative networks", influence our 
collective decisions and define our collective processes, including but 
not limited to social. Seeing means visually. Seeing also means direct 
access to every particular topic of my interest and every aspect of a 
problem being solved.
This is not a dream. A working prototype can be demonstrated any time. 
"The collective agent" is missing. That's why I am wondering whether 
such an agent exists at all.
No memory = no learning = no intelligence.

Sorry for the long texts again.

I am looking forward to us coming to the same page, literally!

Many thanks again,
Dmitry
