<Intelligence is an awareness of reason. Reason is observed as logical nature and is an endowment of the conscious observer. The awareness of reason and ability to deal with reason may be measurable as a function of intelligence.> So "Intelligence is an awareness of reason"- I don't understand what you mean... something has to be aware of something elses ability to reason? Or are you saying it just has to be aware of reasons for doing something? next part- "Reason is observed as logical nature and is an endowment of the conscious observer" seems to makes sense... although "conscious observer" could imply different things and may be difficult to measure. It would imply we humans would know to test or measure it in other life forms?? So " The awareness of reason and ability to deal with reason may be measurable as a function of intelligence." Seems to make sense to me... does this mean the more awareness something has ceteris paribus the more intelligent it is??? Also, it seems you'd run into a 'measurement' problem no matter what you use?? But nice, where did you get it?? BTW, this guy I linked earlier uses "adaptably variable behaviour within the lifetime of the individual": aob.oxfordjournals.org Which I presume would mean you'd be looking for behaviours... seems like a good first step to your definition??
