  "abstract": "Intelligence is commonly enhanced by improving existing capabilities, adding resources, acquiring knowledge, or increasing computational power. However, another possibility deserves systematic investigation: suppressing some intelligent components may improve the performance of other components or the overall intelligent system. This paper proposes a general framework for studying this possibility. The framework applies not only to large language models (LLMs), neural networks, and multi-agent systems, but also to other systems in which intelligent components, processes, or behaviors can be identified and evaluated.\n\nSuppression may involve reducing the activity, influence, participation, communication, or operational priority of a selected component. Its purpose is not necessarily to eliminate that component permanently, but to reduce its contribution when that contribution interferes with a target capability or system objective. The resulting improvement may arise from reduced interference, released computational resources, better coordination, or changes in the relationships between components. This paper defines the central concepts, presents a simple mathematical formulation, identifies potential mechanisms, and proposes a practical evaluation method. The framework does not assume that suppression always improves intelligence. Instead, it establishes a research question: under what conditions can selectively suppressing one part of an intelligent system enhance another part or improve the system as a whole?",
