We argue that group agents are distinguished by their</br>capacity to mimic the way in which individual agents act and that this</br>capacity must “supervene” on the group members’ contributions. But</br>what is the nature of this supervenience relation? Focusing on group</br>judgments, we argue that, for a group to be rational, its judgment on a</br>particular proposition cannot generally be a function of the members’</br>individual judgments on that proposition. Rather, it must be a function</br>of their individual sets of judgments across many propositions. So</br>knowing what the group members individually think about some</br>proposition does not generally tell us how the group collectively</br>adjudicates that proposition: the supervenience relation must be “setwise,”</br>not “proposition-wise.” Our account preserves the individualistic</br>view that group agency is nothing mysterious but also suggests that a</br>group agent may hold judgments that are not directly continuous with</br>its members’ corresponding individual judgments.mbers’ corresponding individual judgments.)
