which is very close as to say that intelligence is learning [from mis-prediction], a subject of cybernetics - common machinery across the scales and instances - using a model (brain in case of animals, model/embedding in case of computer, DNA in case of evolution through natural selection) a prediction (which for example in case of evolution is the next generation) is made, and based on the error of that prediction the model is updated for the generation of the next prediction (in case of evolution the DNA of the best fit is the model to be used in the next iteration).
