A Contrary point of view is that mental models do not emerge isomorphically from individual to the collective level, but emerge discontinuously thereby forming compatible mental models. Compatible mental models are those that hold different knowledge structures across individuals, yet form a congruent whole when combined through social interaction (Kozlowski, Gully, Salas, & Cannon-Bowers, 1996; Kozlowski & Klein, 2000; Wegner, 1991). In such a system, individual knowledge is distributed across a complex social network, and through social interaction, knowledge is later and into an emergent whole and accessed when needed. As suggested previously, we believe gatekeepers play a critical role in linking and synthesizing compatible knowledge held by individuals in separate networks in this way.
