1. Back to basics: What is intelligence?

Without being exhaustive, a fundamental, natural and predictable definition of intelligence is used:

Intelligence is the capability of autonomously combining, differentiating, learning, planning and foreseeing, with the aim to reach a predefined goal.

More into detail:
combining individual objects, with the aim of achieving a goal that can not be achieved by either of those objects separately;
differentiating intertwined objects, with the aim to clarify the situation, by putting them in their own context;
learning is using knowledge and experience to differentiate successes from mistakes;
planning future actions to achieve a goal;
foreseeing the possible consequences of those planned actions.

Initially, the combining and differentiating capabilities will be implemented, see 3.3 Semantics.
