Why don’t you just tell people to coordinate instead of adding the extra indirection of an mental entity? I guess it serves as an anchor point for the group to fall back on for the coordination. Hospitals coordinate on helping patients. Government coordinate on running a nation. Those are solid anchor points that everyone can see and agree too. A mental entity can be too vague and whimsical unless you spend the time to work on establishing it as a religious institution, creating a lot of materials for people to anchor on, basically an entire world model. This actually seems like what the EA community is built on. There is this prior knowledge that people need to read up on in order to participate. It is multi-disciplinary given the nature of the discussion, which is not much different from special interest groups.
