Collective Decision-Making

Fischschwarm

7th Programme (2019-2023)

Originally the term collective stands for a social structure of living beings. The term is also used in scientific areas in order to include properties that are not restricted to living beings, e.g. living cells or quantum materials. One noticeable term is that of swarm intelligence, which is used in the most perceptual disciplines. A question that has to be fixed in terms of subject matter is the development of decision-making processes in the collective. A topic that finds itself delimiting each in the natural sciences and medicine as well as in social and human sciences and initiates the development of current research approaches. A more detailed analysis however allows the hypothesis that generally applicable rules of conduct can be shown across all areas, which lead to decisions by the respective collective.

Since 2019, the interdisciplinary research groups have been dealing with different aspects of this thematic area.

Heiligenmalerei. In der Mitte des Bildes ist Maria in einem blauen Umhang abgebildet, die Jesus als nackten Säugling auf dem Arm hält. Um sie herum ist ein goldener Ring, der mit Flammen umgeben ist. Um diesen Ring herum stehen zahlreiche heiligen Männer und Frauen mit jeweils einem goldenen Heiligenschein und blicken zu den beiden auf. Oben in der Bildmitte schwebt ein alter Mann, der womöglich Gott darstellen soll, mit Krone und Zepter und hält die Hand wie zum Segen über Maria und das Kind.
