Well, Bruce, your answer widens the scope of the debate. To begin with, the concept of intelligence as something proper of an entity capable of intelligent behaviour does not solve the problem as much intelligence as such is not clearly stated first. Sounds a little bit like a circular reasonning. Nevertheless I concur with the sheer fact that all this is a matter of behaviour in certain frames of reference. Probably a way to approach the problem is, then, to reject from the beginning the idea of intelligence as some sustantive, specific entity we can define in a sentence. Maybe it is more like a cluster of certain behavioral abilities in different levels and empirical ocasions. In that case even such a mechanical thing as to remember is fundamental. And certainly the capacity to calculate accurately inside a system of rules is, as well, a kind of intelligence. And the highest one would be the creative endeavour of the so called genuses that change the entire frame of rererence. If this is so, then, yes, we could say program show intelligence in some level. Cheers Fernando
