1. A real-time collaborative control system comprising: a plurality of computing devices each comprising a communications infrastructure coupled to each of a processor, a memory, a timing circuit, a display interface coupled to a display and configured to receive input from a user; a collaborative intent application stored on each memory and configured to run on each processor to: convey to the user, using the display interface, a group collaboration opportunity, receive, repeatedly in real-time, user input of a user intent vector through the display interface, send, repeatedly in real-time, the user intent vector to a collaboration server, receive, repeatedly in real-time, a group intent vector from the collaboration server, and present, repeatedly in real-time, a graphical indication of the group intent vector to the user using the display interface; and the collaboration server in networked communication with the plurality of computing devices, the collaboration server including a processor and a memory, the processor configured to run a collaboration mediation application stored on the memory, the collaboration mediation application configured to: send the group collaboration opportunity to the plurality of computing devices, receive, repeatedly in real-time, the user intent vector from each of the plurality of computing devices, responsively determine, repeatedly in real-time, the group intent vector from the user intent vectors, and send, repeatedly in real-time, the group intent vector to the plurality of computing devices; whereby a closed-loop system is formed between the collaboration server and each collaborative intent applications.
