I'm probably not answering your question but have been thinking more on all this.
There's the usual thermodynamics stuff and relativistic physics that is going on with intelligence and flipping bits within this universe, verses the "no-friction" universe or Newtonian setup. But what I've been thinking and this is probably just reiterating what someone else has worked through but basically a large part of intelligence is chaos control, chaos feedback loops, operating within complexity. Intelligence is some sort of delicate multi-vectored balancing act between complexity and projecting, manipulating, storing/modeling, NN training, genetic learning of the chaos and applying chaos in an environment and optimizing it's understanding and application of. The more intelligent, the better handle an entity has on the chaos. An intelligent entity can have maximal effect with minimal energy expenditure on its environment in a controlled manner; intelligence (or the application of) or even perhaps consciousness is the real-time surfing of "buttery effects". So efficient intelligence involves thermodynamic power differentials of resource consumption applied to goals, etc. A goal would be expressed similarly to intelligence formulae. Really efficient means good chaos leverage understanding cycles, systems, entropy goings on over time and maximizing effect with minimal I/O control for goal achievement while utilizing the KR and the entity's resources...
