Abstract

Intelligence is defined as that which produces successful behavior.Intelligence is assumed to result from natural selection.A model is proposed that integrates knowledge from research in both natural and artificial systems.The model con- sists of a hierarchical system architecture wherein: I) control bandwidth decreases about an order of magnitude at each higher level, 2) perceptual resolution of spatial and temporal patterns contracts about an order-of-magnitude at each higher level, 3) goals expand in scope and planning horizons expand in space and time about an order-of-magnitude at each higher level, and 4) models of the world and memories of events expand their range in space and time by about an order-of-magnitude at each higher level.At each level, functional modules perform behavior generation (task decomposition planning and execution), world modeling, sensory processing, and value judgment.Sensory feedback control loops are closed at every level.I. Robotics (Byte/McGraw Hill, 1981) and Peoples' Capitalism: The Econimics of die Robot Revolutions (New World Books, 1976).He is also the author of numerous scientific papers, journal articles, and official government studies, and has had articles published in Scientific American, Omni, Byte, and Futurist.
