Gee, I wouldn't say order being imposed on a system during analysis by an intelligence means the system *itself* has intelligence. What about systems that have never been analyzed by an intelligence? What intelligence do they have related to them (if you exclude a designing intelligence)? "System" just means stuff that interacts in a more or less regular way. ------------------------ Yahoo!
