Just for the fun of it...

What if,

Intelligence is an attribute of a "unit" that correlates with an assessment of the units mechanism being used in the process of generating "higher quality" choices.

(one could also say that stupidity is an attribute assessing the mechanisms that generate poor choices.)

As such, a unit would both have intelligence and stupidity.
  (Example: an ordinarily intelligent person in love or anger...)

And, the answer to that, I think from your perspective, is that we are
still looking for as yet undiscovered equations of intelligence, which
would not wholesale copy 3 dimensional math, but would be something
new, like a 0-dimensional math (which I've read about but don't
understand).

Yes, I think that in future there will be nice mathematical equations for
the structure and dynamics of intelligence systems...

These will not solve all problems about intelligence immediately, of course,
just as knowing the Navier-Stokes equation doesn't make the whole of fluid
dynamics trivial ... it just gives a solid basis for fluid dynamics work...

However, just as the Wright Brothers built a plane without a good aerodynamic
theory, it may also be possible to build an AGI prior to the existence
of a solid
mathematical theory of AGI...

I don't think it's useful to describe, say, the math of computer algorithms as
"zero dimensional."   It's simply math about structures for which dimensionality
is not a relevant concept....
