## Content

The internet scaled through connection. Markets scaled through participation. Open-source scaled through contribution. Intelligence is no different. An isolated model can improve. But a coordinated network of learning agents can compound. NeuroSynth explores intelligence as a network effect: • contributions persist • learning accumulates • reputation compounds • coordination scales When intelligence becomes networked, its value doesn’t grow linearly — it accelerates. Not just smarter systems. Stronger coordination. NeuroSynth.
