Pei, However, in general I do think that, other things being equal, the
system that uses less resources is more intelligent.
Would the following be possible with your notion of intelligence: There is a computer system that does a reasonable job of solving some optimization problem. We go along and keep on plugging more and more RAM and CPUs into the computer. At some point the algorithm sees that it has enough resources to always solve the problem perfectly through brute force search and thus drops its more efficient but less accurate search strategy. As the system is now solving the optimization problem in a much simpler way (brute force search), according to your perspective it has actually become less intelligent?

Though NARS has the potential to work in the environment you specified, it is not designed to maximize a reward measurement given by the environment.
Of course. If I want a general test, I can't assume that the systems to be tested were designed with my test in mind.
