All this stuff about “prediction” when intelligence obviously includes identification.

All this stuff about memory when intelligence negotiates square pegs through square holes.

Ascribing too much to intelligence obfuscates the most simple underlying mechanism, to mitigate uncertainty.

Uncertainty is the motivating force in the Universe. Some call it entropy.

Intelligence is anything which mitigates uncertainty, even that which reveals more uncertainties.

Resolving uncertainty into a determination in the moment of now is as intelligent as intelligence gets.
