In formal epistemology, group knowledge is often modelled
as the knowledge that the group would have if the agents share all their
individual knowledge. However, this interpretation does not account for
relations between agents. In this work, we propose the notion of synergis-
tic knowledge, which makes it possible to model those relationships. As
examples, we investigate the use of consensus objects and the problem
of the dining cryptographers. Moreover, we show that our logic can also
be used to model certain aspects of information flow in networks.
