individual biological patterns.

> Individual intellectual patterns emerge from the collective activity of
 individual social patterns.

Are those actual quotes? If so, please cite the reference.

[Case]
Platt, I should think you would be excited about the opportunity to examine
how the law of large numbers relates to this idea of collective activity.
Successive levels result for consistency in the probability distributions of
the level beneath. 

Arlo, I like this a lot. At least all but the word "guided". Maybe something
like: "The entire process results from DQ."
