As the number of members in a group grows, the number of connections among between the members of the group getting will get higher quadratically. This is causing the slowing down of of coordination. If the group will use peer-to-peer equal terms deliberation, the amount of communication time will get bigger quadratically, thus sending the group to an a halt.
