AND;

Adaptation

How we organize our bodies to adapt our current state to the internal and external environmental conditions from threats to opportunities so that we can maintain homeostasis and thus persistence both present and future.

|The Evolution of Adaptation|: Motor(Cerebellum) > Intelligence(Neocortex/Hippocampus) > Consciousness(Prefrontal Cortex/Thalamus) > Release of Action (Action) 

We use three faculties to produce behavior that allows us to act and adapt to the world:

1.  Motor Faculties (adaptation of movement)
2. Biological Intelligence (adaptation of neurology)
3. Demonstrated Intelligence (adaptation of behavior)

1. Motor Faculties (Cerebellum)

How the body adapts its physical movements in the world over time.

The cerebellum, in coordination with the rest of the motor neural system, facilitates precise, coordinated movements and motor responses to the environmental stimuli that produces a world model synthesizing interior and exterior states. This includes everything from reflexive responses to complex, planned actions that require coordination across multiple muscle groups and sensory inputs. Motor faculties assist in producing action within the environment by organizing and adjusting behavior to maintain homeostasis.

• • Motor Reflexes (Interrupts, Anterior Cingulate Cortex): Emotional and behavioral responses to pain. Triggers an immediate interruption of ongoing cognitive processes in the presence of salient or threatening stimuli, such as painful sensations.
  • Motor planning: The ability to conceive, organize, and prepare sequences of movements to achieve goals.
  • Motor coordination: The ability to execute and synchronize movements across multiple body parts and muscle groups.
  • Motor learning: The ability to acquire, refine, and automate motor skills through practice and feedback.
  • Motor adaptation: The ability to adjust motor patterns in response to changing environmental or task demands.

2. Biological Intelligence (Adaptation of Neurology) (amplifier or via negativa, friction reduction)

How the body produces and constrains the rate and volume of information.

Biological intelligence consists in the inherent cognitive capabilities that are physically grown (‘hardwired’) into the neurological structure of the brain. These cognitive capabilities are influenced by genetics and early developmental factors and are fundamental in processing sensory inputs and directing physiological responses. The neocortex and hippocampus produce this higher-order thinking, memory formation, and the integration of sensory perceptions into coherent thoughts and predictions.

These cognitive capabilities consist of the following:

• • The Volume of the cranium allowing a bigger brain. Bigger is better. While measurements of the number of neurons, their organization into microcolums that do the work of computing, then macrocolums of these microcolums that compete for greater coherence among their microcolumns, and the regions that serve some purpose or other, again, seek to produce greater coherence with their own macrocolums and with those of other brain regions. So while the number of neurons in the cerebellum is vast for its size, the organization of motor coordination in the cerebellum is simple and concentrated. It consists of an obvious and visible funneling that by competition coherence produces coordination among muscle movements. The same funneling for coherence among perceptions into a world model occurs by less visible in layers, microcolumns, macrocolumns, regions, between and across regions, and finally funneling into the entorhinal cortex and into the hippocampus where it is all organized into a coherent episode again by competition for coherence, not only with the learned experience of the neurons and networks, but the filtered, organized and funneled information fed to the hippocampus, but also competes by auto-association with other episodes of memory
  • The Volume and Density of grey matter (the thin surface area of the brain, about the size and thickness of a restaurant dinner napkin). While the early evolution of the brain contained three layers, the human neocortex consists of tose three layers doubleed over into six layers. 

We describe intelligence as:

“The rate of cognitive adaptation” – CD

Which is consistent with our goal of maintaining universal commensurability in explanation of phenomena using the context of the ternary logic of evolutionary computation. However that rate of computation is determined by permutation of possibilities and testing them by recursion, or:

“The capacity to achieve the same goal by multiple means.” — Michael Levin

Therefore intelligence is the rate of cognitive adaptation by the use of permutation and recursion to calculate means of achieving the same goal by multiple means.

However, in demonstrated terms, intelligence consists of the power (capacity) to alter the probability of outcomes (change) within the internal(mind, body) or external environments (world) in time.

By framing intelligence not just as a measure of cognitive capability but as a form of power, we highlight its importance in decision-making, strategy, and control over both internal and external environments. This framing shifts the focus from intelligence as a static trait to a dynamic resource that can be developed, harnessed, and deployed to extend influence and achieve specific goals.

It is the most recent and most influential of our continuous evolutionary exhaustion of opportunity for biological adaptation. And reframes intelligence as supply and demand within a context: a market for actions.

1. NeoCortex: The Biology of Intelligence (Genetic Intelligence):
Biological intelligence, often denoted as “($g)”$ or general intelligence, reflects the intrinsic cognitive capabilities endowed by an individual’s neurological architecture. It is defined by the rate of cognitive adaptation which is contingent on the scale and quality of neurological structures, and the rapidity of neural response. Biological intelligence sets the baseline capacity for processing, understanding, and responding to stimuli, which remains consistent across an individual’s life.

In large part cognitive adaptation is produced by:

• • • Genetics: In particular Neoteny (delayed maturity (+)), volume of the cranium, and absence of genetic load (accumulated non-beneficial mutations (-)) 
      
      • (Neoteny + Gracility + Size) minus Genetic Load
        • Neoteny: Domestication syndrome prolonging adaptive development (immaturity), sexual maturity(competitiveness), and lifespan favoring maximization of peaceful reciprocal cooperation, altruism and altruistic punishment, at the cost of impulse control.
        • Gracility: Gracile (Lithe) form favors heat dissipation and persistence running which is the evolutionary means by which man was able to hunt large game – at the expense of the need for concentrated calories.
        • Size: Height(muscular volume) and Cranial Capacity (brain volume) favors in-group selection as well as environmental capability at the cost of additional concentrated calories.
        • Genetic Load: The accumulation of disadvantageous mutations (class), and the lack of accumulation of neotenic evolution (race).
    • Integration: Developmental success of the brain during and post utero (dependent on mother), including early development for the first two in particular and the first four in general years of life.
    • Volume: The size (volume) available for the brain (genetics, Neoteny)
      • The volume of available neurons (grey matter)
      • The volume and quality of available transmission (white matter)
    • Connectivity: The degree of interconnectivity of grey matter regions by white matter.
    • Bias: The lateral(feminine, wide, slow, in-time) vs longitudinal(masculine, narrow, fast, over-time) organizational bias (sex differences)
    • Resources:
      • The cerebral supply of resources to white and grey matter (biochemistry)
      • The health of the body in maintaining the brain.

Therefore;

• • • Quality and Quantity of Information (Transduction): The result of:
      • Speed (Reactivity, Response Time(Amperage)): How fast an individual can react to new information or change strategies based on new input. 
      • Bandwidth (Reactive Capacity, (Voltage)): The capacity to process multiple pieces of information simultaneously.
      • Breadth of Traversal (Reactive Volume, (Area, Volume of network)): The ability to apply cognitive processes across a variety of information, episodes, contexts, or domains.
      • Permutations (alternatives, Parallel Networks) Parallel networks of responsibility (regions and their network of regions) produce competing frames, episodes, solutions, demands, or fears that compete with one another for coherence with each other, with only the coherent (cumulative amplitude – loud enough together) or exceptional (local amplitude – louder alone).
      • Regulation (Regulation of the Flow of Information): The ability to direct cognitive processing under varying conditions by regulating the flow of neural activity.
      • Limit (Exceeds Capacity to Regulate and Disambiguate): Refers to failure of association or false association (hallucination): The thresholds beyond which cognitive processing fails due to insufficiency of associations (underloading) or overwhelmed by too many associations (overloading).
        • Underloading: Lower limit. Ambiguity as noise. The condition where the cognitive system is not sufficiently activated due to a lack of sufficient information incoming or existing information in memory.
        • Overloading: Upper limit. Ambiguity because inability to disambiguate and valuate information due to an overload of information incoming activating existing information in memory. 
        • Result:
          • Confusion (Freeze, Flight)
          • Rumination (Pause)
          • Hallucination (Error)
    • Result: In simple terms it results from the most computation, at the least friction, across the volume of the neocortex, in time.

Summary: (It’s just physics).

Given this understanding of the cognitive and biological construction of intelligence, we see that these processes obey the laws of physics much like any other natural phenomenon. Just as water flows according to pressure gradients and electricity moves in response to voltage differences, the flow of information within the brain follows similar principles of dynamics and regulation.

Our exploration reveals that intelligence functions under the constraints of biological infrastructure—ranging from genetic factors like neoteny and the absence of genetic load, to the physical and biochemical conditions that support or limit neural activity. Cognitive processes like speed of reaction, bandwidth of processing, and breadth of informational traversal are all bound by these biological parameters. These processes can be visualized and understood within the same frameworks we use to understand physical systems like fluid dynamics or electrical circuits.

This universality in how complex systems are regulated and behave simplifies our understanding of intelligence from a biological frame, reinforcing the idea that ultimately, it’s all governed by the same basic principles: it’s just physics.

3. Demonstrated Intelligence
(Adaptation of Behavior) (Neocortex, Memory, Prefrontal Cortex)

How the body uses biological intelligence, memory, accumulated experience, education, training, and skills when acting in the world.

Biological vs Demonstrated Intelligence:
Biological intelligence consists of the potential neurological performance of the brain and mind, while demonstrated intelligence consists of the application of that potential to actions in real world contexts. 

Demonstrated intelligence consists of the observed application of cognitive abilities to actions and the resulting consequences. It includes how an individual applies their cognitive resources, influenced by additional factors such as working memory capacity, personality traits (notably conscientiousness), idiosyncratic experiences, general and domain-specific knowledge, as well as the impact of false beliefs and cognitive impairments due to trauma. Demonstrated intelligence is an emergent property of the brain demonstrated in the actions and decisions of an individual, revealing how effectively they utilize their biological intelligence in conjunction with their personal traits, knowledge, and experiences.

  • Working memory (+) ( … )
  • Personality traits:(+,-)  (…) (explain personality traits as bias in the before, during, after processing of intelligence here or in behavior?)
    • Frustration Tolerance (in-time): The maximum duration and number of attempts an individual can endure cognitive or emotional strain without significant performance degradation or psychological distress – and giving up.  Frustration tolerance predicts outcomes on a wide set of variables including IQ, sociodemographics, self-control, and grit.
    • Conscientiousness (over time): The measure of an individual’s ability to sustain attention and effort on tasks and goals despite distractions and competing motivations. 
    • Emphasis on Conscientiousness and Intelligence: ( … )
    • Summary: While frustration tolerance focuses on an individual’s ability to persevere through cognitive or emotional strain in a single instance or short period, conscientiousness is a trait that describes an individual’s tendency to be diligent, organized, and persistent in their efforts over a longer time frame.

So to disambiguate the term ‘intelligence’ we find the sequence:
