James Borowski on [[100th Monkey]] principle:

Found reading some stuff on your site really interesting.  I have not
finished reading yet, so, forgive me if you already know this, but I
was reading the article [[DiamondsVsStars]]
and wondered as I read your comments regarding the "something in the
air" as people around the world all discover something at the same
time, if you were aware of the [[100th Monkey]] principle?

There are different versions of the tale, but essentially, there was
an island with a load of monkeys that learnt a trait one at a time of
how to knock nuts with a rock to get inside them (other versions of
the story are about learning to wash them, but the principle is the
same).  It took a while for monkeys to copy each other, one at a time,
and the speed of uptake was essentially linear and at a fixed rate
until they reached the [[100th Monkey]].  At this point, every monkey on
the island, and every monkey on the three neighbouring islands all
started the same trait, almost instantly.  The point is: A species
appears to be connected at some vibrational level to the extent that
they share certain thought processes/notions.  There is a tipping
point (apparently this is the square route of 1% of the population
pool / or 100 monkeys  ) where once reached, this information is
availiable to all.  Almost as if an entire species are listening on
the same multicast address. 

Anyway, hope you find as interesting as I found your stuff. For more info see
[[wikipedia:100th_Monkey|100th Monkey]] at wikipedia.
