Intelligence

Intelligence is multispectra.--- G. Eiríksson, 2020.Iceland.Intelligence is the differentiation of experience/data.— G. Eiríksson, 2020.G. Eiríksson, 28. Maí, 2020. South Iceland. Alternatively, ‘Intelligence is the contracting of experience.’ Or, ‘intelligence is the rendering of experience,’ & ‘intelligence is the projection of experience,’ & ‘intelligence is the projection of the a priori,’ ‘intelligence is the projection of the prior,’ ‘intelligence is the correct projection of the prior,’ ‘intelligence is the correct rendering of possibility,’ ‘intelligence is the rendering of logos,’ ‘intelligence is the transmission of logos,’ ‘intelligence is rendering the spiritual from the profane,’ ‘intelligence is rendering the profitable from the base,’ ‘intelligence is maturity arising from immaturity.’ Intelligence is to generalize from experience.— Anon, 2020.R. 28. Maí, 2020. «The Other Life» Discord server.entropy production is roughly synonymous with intelligence — Nick Land, 2014Xenosystems.net. Article titled «On Chaos», date of publishing given 25. Apr, 2014.
Intelligence is perpetuation of identity against an environment that wants to use you as raw material for other reasons than keeping you in one piece. Matter can flow without death... just taking a bite off often isn't mortal.

Intelligence is the maximization of the order of the intelligible (theoretical, practical, axiological) pertaining to itself in the Universe. — Reza Negarestani, 16n182018.Every time we contract some commitment in life, we submit ourselves voluntarily to a new group of laws which administers the domain in which this commitment is made.— MouravieffFor our purposes, “intelligence” will be roughly taken to correspond to the capacity for instrumental reasoning — Nick Bostrom, 2012.2012.intelligence cannot be separated from its tendency to upgrade itself — Reza Negarestani, 2018... we can identify about 20 lines of intelligence ...— Zen Master Doshin RoshiPub on Sep 30, 2018.

== Definition ==
Intelligence is to differentiate. Intelligence is to know difference. This is testified by its etymology of inter- + legere, the latter meaning "choose, pick out, read" and the former "between" — the word thus literally meaning "to choose between" or to "read between", which is to say to know a difference. It may also mean "between reading", but something becoming intelligible to us is usually what happens between us and the reading. Intelligence is a making of intelligibility. Intelligence gathers or accesses ideas to form something intelligible. Without access to ideas (notions) intelligence seems meaningless — there has to be something to, so to speak, interlegere or interlog, or if you will, dialog about — which is to say intelligence is a dialectic of access and recognition (identifying). Something intelligible is in a sense a character, or has character (the same) — something characterizes it so as to make it intelligible, or distinguishable from whatever else. Character is synonymous with form, but any recognizable form is characterized by something. The meaning of intelligence is to know or to characterise (the same), but meaning is synonymous with purpose. 
By forming character we become intelligent, because a formless thing could not know itself as it would not be intelligible.
Since intelligence is the making of intelligibility, self knowledge is an intelligence of the self. 
An intelligence service is something that serves the process of rendering intelligible—or knowing. Human intelligence is in the service of general intelligence. Artificial intelligence is in the service of human intelligence, but some say it is much rather in the service of general intelligence.Everything in our being participates in our intelligence.— Christian Lexcellent, 2019
