Again, to take consistency as an ultimate goal (which is never fully
achievable) and as a precondition (even an approximate one) are two
very different positions. I hope you are not suggesting the latter ---
at least your posting makes me feel that way.

Hi,

In the Novamente system, consistency is just one among many goals
that are balanced internally by the system as it decides how to allocate
its attention and how to prune its knowledge base.

I happened to be thinking about consistency from a theoretic point of
view lately, but, not because I think it's the sole key to intelligence or
anything like that...

It happens to be easier to think about mathematically than many of the
other important properties of intelligence, however ;-)
