<div><br>
</div>
<div>your natural intelligence theme is a solid one.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>do you know my work on social groups as complex adaptive systems, learning machines, group iq's?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>remember, the first social groups in the cosmos were the quark trios we know as protons and neutrons. but i only see intelligence in lifeforms, from our bacterial ancestors to multi-cellular beings.</div>
<div><br>

Subject: [Fis] Wake up call<br>
<br>
<div id="yiv5046414381">
<div>
<div>Dear FISers,</div>
<div>You will remember in those ancient times of travels and hotels
(so distant now!) the request in the front desk for a wake up
call... we should be on time for the presentations or for the
shuttle to the airport. <br>
</div>
<div>In these strange times of ours, of unrelenting isolation, every
month our stamina reserves are little by little depleted, at least
for those not directly involved in the duties of academic life or
institutional research. How a wake up call might be arranged for
those of us at the brisk of depression?</div>
<div>In June 15th is the deadline for participating in the IS4SI 2021
conference. See <a class="yiv5046414381moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://summit-2021.is4si.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://summit-2021.is4si.org/</a></div>
<div><u>I think we should massively participate.</u> Let us post our
tentative abstracts in the list, as Howard did, and let us have
preliminary discussions. <br>
</div>
<div>Personally, I will send an abstract to one of the sessions (still
undecided which one could be fitting) about</div>
<div>THE PARADIGM OF NATURAL INTELLIGENCE</div>
<div>It will be argued that intelligence is a universal phenomenon
present in all forms of life. It requires a new form of
relationship with the environment, implying not only openness to
energy flows but to information flows as well. External
information processing, coupled with internal information
processing, may produce an adaptive life cycle that manifests
(natural) intelligence, produces meaning, and realizes fitness
value. Out from the basic prokaryotic conformation, the unit of
natural intelligence, it may develop hierarchically, via
multicellularity, and particularly with the evolution of nervous
systems. Then, natural intelligence fully develops up to the
point, in the human case, of exhibiting pieces of artificial
intelligence that mimic some of the basic properties of the
former. It will be finally argued that without a proper
understanding of natural intelligence, the scientific foundations
of artificial intelligence will be shaky--notwithstanding the
technological grandeur it is effectively achieving. But unbridled,
half-understood technologies are not a panacea for societies.
Often the opposite.</div>
<div>Best regards to all!</div>
<div>--Pedro<br>
