The complexity limit of any individual idea in your field is a lot higher, since the ideas get primarily transmitted via high-bandwidth channels
Depends if you’re sticking specifically to “presentation at a conference”, which I don’t think is necessarily that “high bandwidth”. Very loosely, I think it’s something like (ordered by “bandwidth”): repeated small group of individual interaction (e.g. apprenticeship, collaboration) >> written materials >> presentations. I don’t think I could have learned Kaj’s models of multi-agent minds from a conference presentation (although possibly from a lecture series). I might have learnt even more if I was his apprentice.
