Wow.  The silence was deafening after my last attempt . . . .

How about if I rephrase slightly dufferently as:

Intelligence is
   the size of the space containing all world-states that the entity can
successfully reach
               minus
   the size of the space containing all world-states that the entity
cannot
successfully avoid.



I don't like this so much, because two sets of world-states with equal
measure (size) may have very different complexity...
