>>12955078All of existence is has some consciousness, but that consciousness can't be seen or coherently even experience itself without self-refrential machinery. Intelligence is just the measure of the accuracy of self-reference. If when you experience concepts of the world (within yourself) you do so accurately, and further internally model them accurately (they only get distorted by distortions of the overall self reference) then you are intelligent. More accurate processing means more intelligence, less means less, but there's also much to have accurate or inaccurate modeling of.
