Scientific American reported on a novel type of building block described as "collectively intelligent," capable of determining the shape or object it has been assembled into, such as a boat, chair or guitar.

According to the outlet, the bricks work together as a group rather than relying on a single central processor, allowing the overall structure to "figure out" its own form once assembled.

The report did not provide extensive technical details on the mechanism behind the bricks' collective recognition capability, but noted the technology represents an example of distributed intelligence embedded directly into physical building components.

Scientific American did not specify the research team or institution behind the development in the excerpt reviewed, nor did it detail potential applications beyond identifying the assembled shape.
