Abstract
This paper will attempt to formally analyze the problem of individual existence of a being versus its existence in a social structure, through evaluation of Collective Intelligence efficiency. On the basis of two simulation models of two very distant cases of Collective Intelligence, some results to this problem will be given and discussed. Cases are: survival abilities of a bacterial colony, and hunter and dog versus rabbit. This paper also presents the methodology of identification and translation of the mentioned cases of Collective Intelligence phenomena into simulation models. The results show a strong increase of the social structure ability when the Collective Intelligence is functioning. The problem of the Collective Intelligence is so complex, that the results presented here should be considered as a case study. In general, on the basis of presented results, the paper advertises and advocates the theory of Collective Intelligence based on molecular model of computations.
