Are you familiar with Vernor Vinge's 2006 scifi novel Rainbow's End? Set in an ever hi paced technologically enhanced society the security forces themselves, not just the pretty much automated intel feeds, swarm to the threat. Your project reminded me of this. Aside from that, what are your feelings about the role of intuition alongside logical reasoning? Not just inductive reasoning but full on subconscious gut feelings guiding last minute decision making. Is it real?

I will look up Klein, thanks. Familiar with the time pressure conundrum :)

Vinge has a "group mind" theme running through several of his modest number of novels. All interesting.

RE is not a film, a novel. Somewhat dystopian post 911 fear of escalating terror, but otherwise on the money for augmented reality and driverless cars. Yes neuroscience is rapidly unlocking the myriad activities going on in the brain that give rise to reasoning. Some of those that outstrip linguistic/symbolic pathways are lumped as intuition. Yet there it is. Use it myself. And the link to creativity is undeniable. Track record establishes good guts from bad!
