        When it comes down to it, isn't intelligence the ability to
recognize space-time relationships?  The nice thing about this definition
is that it recognizes that ants, programs, and humans all possess
varying degrees of intelligence (that is, varying degrees in their
ability to recognize space-time relationships).  This implies that
intelligence is only correlative, and only indirectly related to
physical environmental interaction.
