2. The claim, in full

Six markers (M1 to M6) together point to a hive; no single one settles it, and each turns up in healthy groups too.

Cited on: /the-hive-mind, WHAT A HIVE MIND IS › Six markers. Entered 2026-10-12 with the /the-hive-mind rewrite; tag NEW-W1a-6.

3. What it rests on

• A congregation can shun a member who breaks with it, and a party can expel one.

  Source: none linked in the register

• With a group identity to the fore, people take its norm as their own [SRC-764].

  Sources: SRC-764

No confidence intervals are recorded for any figure in this block.

4. Sources

• SRC-764 · PRIORITY · Rediscovering the Social Group: A Self-Categorization Theory — Turner, John C., Hogg, Michael A., Oakes, Penelope J., Reicher, Stephen D., & Wetherell, Margaret S. (Oxford: Blackwell) (1987)
  Pinpoint: not recorded · Access: Access status not recorded
  Entered 2026-10-12 with BATCH 1 of the /the-hive-mind slimming, from that page's SOURCES entry [14]. https://ci.nii.ac.jp/ncid/BA00711942 The author probe returned SRC-392 on "Turner" inside a nineteen-name author list; that is a different person and a different field.

7. Correction history

2026-10-12

Explanation moved here from /the-hive-mind (WHAT A HIVE MIND IS › Six markers) — wording unchanged except as listed: "a congregation can shun a member" → "A congregation can shun a member" (capitalised: the span began mid-sentence after an "Example:" label that C4 drops).

8. Related observations

• HSRP-422 · PROBABLE · Members take positions from their party's cues, and deny being swayed: the reason ends in the group (marker M1).
  Relation: not recorded
• HSRP-428 · PROBABLE · A hive's view shifts with the audience: voiced under the group's eye, softened or doubted in private (marker M2). Public compliance is not proof of belief.
  Relation: not recorded
• HSRP-429 · WORKING · Outsiders are discredited in advance by two routes: as people who "cannot know", or as people who "will not tell the truth" (marker M4).
  Relation: not recorded
• HSRP-430 · PROBABLE · The independence condition behind M5, one of the six markers: separate judgments make crowds accurate, while influence narrows estimates and raises confidence without accuracy
  Relation: not recorded
• HSRP-431 · PROBABLE · Social influence raising inequality and unpredictability in a cultural market, an example of M5
  Relation: not recorded

10. Open questions

What would strengthen it

Whether the markers reliably tell a hive from healthy agreement is not yet found, and not yet known whether it will be found.
