A measure of the quality of intelligence is the thermodynamic efficiency with which it can be simulated; solutions requiring large computation violate Hamilton's principle and are not candidates for artificial intelligence capable of insight.

Concepts (2)

concept

Deep Learning
contradicts
Learning hierarchical representations of non-decomposable functions; proposed as formal equivalent to ETI process.
Hamilton's Principle of Least Action
supports
Neuronal dynamics conform to Hamilton's principle via free energy minimization; connects to physics.

Methods (1)

method

Jarzynski Equality
supports
Shows variational and thermodynamic free energy share the same minimum; links thermodynamic efficiency to variational principles

If intelligence is defined as engaged concern for problem solving, then the apparent limits of a system’s intelligence can be expanded by extending its sphere of concern.hypothesis0.765
Predicts that care-driven expansion of concern leads to higher intelligence.
