Abstract: In this work, a new concept called the vector dissipation of randomness (VDR) is developed and formalized. It describes the mechanism by which complex multicomponent systems transition from chaos to order through the filtering of random directions, accumulation of information in the environment, and self-organization of agents. VDR explains how individual random strategies can evolve into collective goal-directed behavior, leading to the emergence of an ordered structure without centralized control. In this framework, paraintelligence is defined as a functional, nonreflexive mode of collective cognition in which a decentralized system produces rational-like outcomes without an individual conscious subject. To test the proposed model, a numerical simulation of the "ant-beetle" system was conducted, in which agents (ants) randomly choose movement directions, but through feedback mechanisms and weak strategies, they form a single coordinated vector of the beetle's movement. VDR is a universal mechanism applicable to a wide range of self-organizing systems, including biological populations, decentralized technological networks, sociological processes, and artificial intelligence algorithms.
