1. Back to basics: What is intelligence?

Without being exhaustive, an unambiguous, fundamental (=natural) and deterministic (=implementable) definition of intelligence is used:

Intelligence is the capability of autonomously associating, discriminating, learning, planning and predicting, with the aim to reach a predefined goal.

More into detail:
associating (or combining) of individual or separate objects, with the aim of achieving a goal that can not be achieved by either of those objects separately;
discriminating (or differentiating) compound or 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;
predicting possible consequences of those planned actions.

Initially, the associating and discriminating capabilities will be implemented, see 3.3 Semantics.
