Using the Metaphor of Intelligence

Constructed system with autonomy can be considered as possessing intelligence, if intelligence is understood as a metaphor. It is useful to be aware of that, when defining desirable features for constructed systems, in areas such as reflecting the world (ontology), definition and pursuit of goals (teleology), or general human-like behavior (anthropomorphism). Modeling and simulating integrated systems exemplify the usage of multi-scale, multi-disciplinary representations, as a basis for increasing the autonomy of some specific constructed systems. Measuring the intelligence of constructed systems requires a Vector of Metrics for Intelligence. Its components will be defined by different means, such as conducting existence tests for essential capabilities, measuring the power to eliminate unnecessary exploration, competitions of hardware-compatible systems, or vote by a jury.
