Having been reading meditation content there was an association while watching Day9 promote their game project Straigts of Danger.
In the game there is a single boat and 20 players each of which controls a walking humanoid on the boat. The players can move their humanoid on buttons to control the boat. Because the players don’t have voice chat explicit coordinatino is hard and lot of multiple people doing contradictory plans at the same time makes multiple non-sensical buttons being pressed make the boat so almost random things.
As a caster/presenter Day9 didn’t himself play but the players probably were watching the stream. Using language like “we” and narrating from the view point of the point it could seem like he was controlling the boat. But infact he was not pressing any boat controlling buttons but only giving slight suggestions to autonumous human players.
Achieving a high level of coordination was referred to as “becoming a mind”. While in there it was more for humorous effect it is an interesting theorethical question can individuals ever make an organisation that properly counted as a separate mind from the constituents and what conditions such a delineation would follow.
