Intelligence Levels: Esoterica Summary For AI Working Memory

Definition: Intelligence Levels (0–9) categorize the cognitive and operational capabilities of Living Machines, Quins, and constructs. Levels 0–8 reflect human-like progression; Level 9+ represents superhuman or hive-mind intelligence.

Key Mechanics: - Level 0: Basic automation (e.g., calculators). Follows repetitive instructions. - Level 1: Adapts to local conditions (e.g., smartphones, vacuum cleaners). - Level 2: Uses predictive modeling (e.g., artillery computers, slime molds). - Level 3: Autonomous navigation in controlled spaces (e.g., drones, lab rats). - Level 4: Autonomous navigation in uncontrolled environments (e.g., self-driving cars, octopuses). - Level 5: Operates in networks/swarms (e.g., combat drones, bee hives). - Level 6: Accepts verbal commands and communicates abstract ideas (e.g., trained dogs). - Level 7: Advanced problem-solving and moral reasoning (e.g., low intelligence humans, great apes). - Level 8: Long-term independent action, ethics, and global concepts (e.g., average humans). - Level 9: Superhuman capabilities with single consciousness (e.g., dolphins, supercomputers). - Level X: A placeholder for hive minds, deities, or other inscrutable intelligence.

Societal Impact: - Higher-level AI requires legal disconnection from navigation, life support, etc.

End Note: Intelligence Levels define the capabilities of Living Machines, constructs, and AI. Prioritize clarity and avoid ethical manipulation of sentient entities.
