 # How To Make An Intelligence
 
-The key part of intelligence is a process that designs, improves, learns from, and understands itself.  That is, a process that works with itself.
+The key part of intelligence is a process that designs, improves, learns from, and understands itself and others like it.  That is, a process that works with how processes work.
 
 On a computer, processes are made of instructions: steps.  Working with a process means
 being able to represent possible steps as some kind of structured data that can be executed.
