Summary
This document appears to be a page (137) from a larger text, likely an academic essay or interview transcript, produced during a House Oversight investigation (Bates stamp 016940). The text discusses theoretical concepts linking Artificial Intelligence, 'social physics,' and evolutionary biology, specifically focusing on 'distributed Thompson sampling' and how human social networks function similarly to AI credit-assignment algorithms. While no specific individuals are named, the subject matter strongly suggests the work of Alex Pentland (MIT Media Lab), a known associate in the Epstein context.

"This 'social physics' works because human behavior is determined as much by the patterns of our culture as by rational, individual thinking."Source
