Is Intelligence Artificial?
  Our understanding of intelligence is directed primarily at the human level.
This paper attempts to give a more unifying definition that can be applied to
the natural world in general and then Artificial Intelligence. The definition
would be used more to verify a relative intelligence, not to quantify it and
might help when making judgements on the matter. While correct behaviour is the
preferred definition, a metric that is grounded in Kolmogorov's Complexity
Theory is suggested, which leads to a measurement about entropy. A version of
an accepted AI test is then put forward as the 'acid test' and might be what a
free-thinking program would try to achieve. Recent work by the author has been
more from a direction of mechanical processes, or ones that might operate
automatically. This paper agrees that intelligence is a pro-active event, but
also notes a second aspect to it that is in the background and mechanical. The
paper suggests looking at intelligence and the conscious as being slightly
different, where consciousness is this more mechanical aspect. In fact, a
surprising conclusion can be a passive but intelligent brain being invoked by
active and less intelligent senses.
