claim:intelligence-is-the-degree-of-competency-in-navigating-any-problem-space-not-just-3d-including-morphospace-transcriptional-space-etcIntelligence is the degree of competency in navigating any problem space (not just 3D), including morphospace, transcriptional space, etc.
Expands the definition of intelligence to include non-behavioral problem-solving, enabling comparison across diverse substrates.

- All minds are composites of parts; individual and collective intelligence unified under substrate-neutral principles.
- All intelligences emerge from aligned sub-components; individual/collective distinction dissolves.
- Framework unifying cellular, organismal, and group cognition through shared principles of multi-agent coordination and goal alignment, developed by Levin and colleagues circa 2020s.
