Universal Meta-Definition of Intelligence
Anatoly I. Shevchenko, Alexander V. Sosnitsky · 2020
A formal scientific definition of Intelligence is a topical problem not only of the synthesis of AI but of the world science as a whole as a product of exclusively intellectual activity. It is due to the fundamental shortcomings of the modern general scientific paradigm that is limited to particular dogmatic concepts. This problem is solved by the transition to the universal general scientific paradigm by increasing the level of knowledge abstraction. Achieving a uniform initial Universal Axiom, in principle, allows you to deduce a complete system of Universe’s concepts and get a universal definition and formalism of Intelligence from it, which are supposedly applicable to all Universe’s phenomena. The paper presents the main provisions of the new approach and deduces the initial components of the Universal Formalism of Intelligence, which follows directly from the Universal Axiom and is represented by exclusively the highest Universe’s meta-concepts that can solve the said problem. The obtained results are pioneering in this area and have important general scientific significance and the initial application in many technical and humanitarian research and development.
