3. INTELLIGENT Systems
What is Intelligence
There are many definitions of intelligence. A person that learns fast or one
that has a vast amount of experience, could be called "intelligent". However
for our purposes the most useful definition is: the systems comparative
level of performance in reaching its objectives. This implies having
experiences where the system learned which actions best let it reach its
objectives.
By the way, persons are not intelligent in all areas of knowledge, they are
only intelligent in those areas where they had experiences
What is a System
A system is part of the universe, with a limited extension in space and time.
What is outside the frontier of the system, we call its environment. Stronger
or more correlations exist between one part of the system and another,
than between this part of the system and parts in the environment.
What is an Intelligent System
An intelligent system learns how to act so it can reach its objectives.
4. Details of the Intelligent System
The main processes occurring within the intelligent systems are the
following: The Intelligent System has a temporary objective, that it has
derived from its main objective. It senses its environment, although we have
to realize that it has only a few senses and that these can only capture, for
instance, light and sound of an object, but can not capture or know the
object itself.
The system then stores these sense impressions as elementary concepts.
Concepts are a material way of storing information. Working on concepts it
creates new ones and stores relationships to other total, part, abstract and
concrete concepts. In the following we explain this in more detail.
Of course you realize that there is a difference between an object or
occurrence in the environment, the concept the system uses for its internal
processing and the word it uses to communicate about the concept.
To continue with the internal processes, in more intelligent systems there
should now be a check of the incoming information. With all the information,
expressed as concepts, the system builds up the present situation. Now it
looks into its memory and finds applicable response rules. It chooses one of
the best it has found and performs the corresponding action. Response
rules are a field of storage that includes the present situation to which the

The intelligent system continually records the present situation and the
action that followed as a response rule. The very first response
rules are due to chance actions and to teaching.
When the system is externally inactive, that is it sleeps, it reviews
the response rules stored in its memory and performs some
generalizations. It makes abstractions of concepts and creates the
corresponding response rules, including these abstractions. Further
comparisons are between the situation and action of a series or
recently learned response rules as well as comparisons between
situations of different response rules and between actions of
different response rules. By all these activities, starting with very
concrete response rules, it creates response rules that are
applicable to several different but similar situations.
After some while, its memory is full and it forgets the least used
concepts and response rules.
