Egregores are composed of, *run on*, multiple human brains, potentially millions of them, but they are (usually) far less complex, *lower-dimensional*, than humans. It's a bandwidth issue: an egregore doesn't only rely on language for transmission, but for all of its cognition.

don't quite agree; all that complexity inside individual humans was also seeded by "low bandwidth" language/sense/sensemaking. egregores can similarly have emergent complexity from composition over time across many differentiated parts.…

and, if several egregores are symbiotic, is their combined self-sustaining superstructure another 'egregore', or something else? interacting-humans : egregore :: interacting-egregores : __?__

Egregores are nebulous but fractal. Matthew 18:20: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." If Jesus has N believers, and if there's a Jesus created when any two or more believers meet, that's N! potential Jesuses.

Egregores are instantiated in individual humans, to varying degrees at varying times, like a loa riding a houngan. The egregore shard can return to the whole and upload its experiences if the host body has a chance to get online and make a post.

A lot of vocalizations an egregore compels in its hosts are like surface antigens in a multicellular organism, chemical keys that let the organism recognize itself. Hosts are constantly yelling these signals at each other.

That might be the best way to recognize the presence of an egregore, in fact.
