for the second point, can’t you pass the recursive buck almost as easily there?
How so? If you set up a group of virtual humans to think about some problem, you have to decide, at least initially, who to bring into the group, how they can interact with each other, how the final output gets determined (if they don’t all agree on one answer), and under what circumstances the rules can be changed. If you do it wrong, you could get bad social dynamics before the group can figure out how to fix or improve the setup.
