OVERVIEW

This question examines social cohesion. Increasing separation between groups can reduce shared information and weaken their capacity to resolve disagreements. Its surrounding discussion also concerns identity continuity: alteration, duplication, or transfer of an agent can make persistence of identity and responsibility ambiguous.

The analytical issue is how these conditions affect assumptions about knowledge, identity, reality, and the criteria used to justify conclusions. The node treats the potential dysfunction as an open problem: its identification does not demonstrate that the anticipated outcome will occur or that an assumed technology is feasible.

Main problem

Increasing separation between groups can reduce shared information and weaken their capacity to resolve disagreements.

Central question
