Some basic ideas about intelligence I might use in some stories/novels I write.
Occurs through progressive increases in complexity in life. Would be considered "natural" intelligence. Generally limited to the materials and structures under which it develops.
Mechanical or biological synthetic mechanism to emulate the problem solving associated with intelligence. The specific difference would be the lack of the ability to create novel or improvised solutions.
Using some kind of mechanical or biological technology to emulate the operations of a basal intelligence. Examples would be a computer model of the neuron patterns of a dog brain. This would require some method of modeling the activity of th neurons as well as their structures as well as providing some kind of sensory/interactive interface.
Indicates a synthetic increase of what would be some model of basal intelligence. This could be an example of a human brain being increase through cybernetics. Directed genetic evolution through engineering, etc. This could result in a super intelligence eq: singularity.
A completely novel intelligence model. An intelligence generated spontaneously without previous basis or emulation. As strange as it sounds there has never been an example of this in any sci-fi I've read. If you think about it all the stories you've probably read include emulated, augmented or virtual intelligence. A hand full of stories I can remember that might fit this model always require some kind of "magic" event to jump one of these previous models to the "super" artificial stage, ie: lightening strike.

Well let's see if this works. One more attempt at making a web page for my server. Nothing really interesting, just random comments and crap from me. Maybe I'll make software or whatever that does what I want. I kind of like static content, so the server will probable always be serving out web pages of some kind and not running out of a database dynmically. This should save me some bandwidth and CPU time.
More comments to come.
Thanks,
