An intelligent entity that is distributed over a large volume (or inside another system, like a virtual network) with no distinct center. This is the opposite of the strategy of Concentrated intelligences.

Distributed intelligences have much longer communication lags but are more flexible in their structure and can survive damage to their parts.
