The problem we are having is the over attribution of intelligence, and failure to proclaim that algorithmic intelligence (discrete systems) are not the measure of the scope and nature of intelligence (domain of existential reality).
Simply put, intelligence works to a resolve, of whatever. To navigate the fickle nature of chaotic reality to a sensible or immediate conclusion.
Intelligence has domains, dimensions, scales and metrics.
Existential reality is not a discrete system of states. Modern information theory HAS THIS WRONG. Existential reality is potential distributing into state in the moment of now through the constrictive and destructive interference of fundamental forces. Truth is some perturbation of existential reality, and truths in the human mind are encoded representations based on whatever those may be.
See it.
Existential reality is potential distributing, not number of states. Algorithmic intelligence is defined and designed for a lockbox of state renderings. Effectively computational intelligence emulates this “true nature” of reality, by probabilistic weights. Requires recurrent and accurate sampling for intended effect!
We also get wrong where the question of intelligence lies? Do this instead, use the right tools for the right job and the right resolution will be probable. See what I just did? I messed with your intelligence, there is intelligence that messes with intelligence. Intelligence is multi-dimensional. Intelligence is the mitigation (determination for resolve) of uncertainty.
The battle is against uncertainty, the universe’s most primal power, as potential resolving against our needs. It is our needs which define how we would characterize external intelligence. And effectiveness of deterministic resolve in a specific domain of interest would be its measure.
