+extraction_notes: "Extracted two claims about AI's impact on collective intelligence physics and LLMs as bridges between design/model approaches. Both claims are conceptual frameworks from institutional research agenda rather than empirical validation. Applied four enrichments to existing coordination and collective intelligence claims. The 'physics' framing and design-model divide are the novel contributions. Source is prospective and programmatic—no deployed systems or outcome data."

+- Brookings 17 Rooms Initiative identifies two CI camps: design-minded (psychologists, anthropologists using facilitated convenings) and model-minded (economists, epidemiologists using simulations)
+- Proposed infrastructure includes digital identity systems, data-sharing protocols, model telemetry standards, evaluation frameworks, and governance structures
+- Four unanswered research questions about whether AI-enhanced CI processes improve understanding and reduce polarization
