-What is a full intellect?
-	A full intellect can both keep something constant in a diverse, changing environment,
-	and design and build something that functions as well as it does, without access to its own workings.

+Proposed Definitions:
 What is an intellect?
-	An intellect is something that keep something constant in a diverse, changing environment,
-	so long as the environment changes slowly enough for the intellect to learn to adapt to it.
+	Propose an intellect is something that can adapt to keep something constant in a diverse, changing environment,
+	so long as the environment changes slowly enough and with enough familiarity for them to learn or prepare effectively.
+What is a full intellect?
+	Propose that a full intellect is an intellect that can design and build something that functions as well as they do,
+	without access to their own workings, and is able to learn to handle arbitrarily fast or new diverse environmental change.
 
 What basic parts do we expect a full intellect to have?

+Trial Exploration
+	Brainstorming, trial-and-error.  The ability to try or consider different things and find ones that work well.
 	simple approaches: exhaustive search, and random trial
-meaning representation: the ability to store and work with conceptual information
-relevence: the ability to apply concepts and actions more in contexts they are likely to be useful than those they aren't
-self-modification: at least part of the system must be fully alterable by the system and generic enough to replace it. <- due to danger, must include controversial needs in decisions
+
+Relevence
+	The ability to apply concepts and actions moreso in contexts they are likely to be useful than those they aren't.
+	1. responsiveness for behavior: a habit acts when conditions arise, not when it is 'next'
+	2. possibly a promise for decision-making, for proposals to have reasons with associated strengths
+
+Self-Coding
+	At least part of the system must be fully alterable by the system and generic enough to replace it.
+	Due to the danger involved in this, controversial concerns must be fully included in decisions around it.
+	Karl references Convergent Facilitation as proof that a decision can be found to satisfy any set of controversial concerns.
+		<it very roughly involves rapidly moving towards the reasons of the concerns until they don't conflict; there is a lot of caring dialogue>
+
+Pattern Generality
+	The ability to brainstorm on enough relationships, possibly mathematical, to discover pattern-summaries that are diversely effective in the real world.
+
+Meaning Representation
+	The ability to store and work with conceptual information.
+
+Promise Meeting
+	The ability to make agreements on behavior and structure, adhere to them, and change them when needed.
