- And in biology, quorum sensing in microbial colonies and competing neural populations resolving to a single motor command instantiate the structure without any human practice at all — which is part of why the pattern reads as fully substrate-independent.
This sourceBacterial quorum sensing as a threshold-based collective decision with no human practice involved.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract backs the quorum-sensing half — bacteria acting collectively, population-wide, as multicellular organisms with no human practice — but says nothing about neural populations or substrate-independence.
“This process, termed quorum sensing, allows bacteria to monitor the environment for other bacteria and to alter behavior on a population-wide scale in response to changes in the number and/or species present in a community. Most quorum-sensing-controlled processes are unproductive when undertaken by an individual bacterium acting alone but become beneficial when carried out simultaneously by a large number of cells.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
