Natural intelligence is the utilization of naturally occurring logic
This naturally occurring logic provides concrete clues for organizing natural objects, like:
-
Grouping objects that belong together,
-
Separating objects that don't belong together,
-
Archiving objects that have become less important.
Natural language and spatial information are sources of natural intelligence:
-
Natural language is providing concrete logic for organizing knowledge objects,
-
Spatial information provides concrete logic for organizing spatial objects (utilized in, e.g., self-driving cars).
In this way, our brains know how to organize their knowledge and spatial information.
I focus on natural language because this source of natural intelligence is hardly understood by scientists. Hence, the inability of Large Language Models to organize changes in their knowledge independently.
Aristotle was the first to describe a natural reasoning construct, almost 2400 years ago:
-
Given: “All philosophers are mortal.”
-
Given: “Socrates is a philosopher.”
-
Logical conclusion: “Socrates is mortal.”
I have discovered more reasoning constructs, naturally found in the human language.
The human language provides many simple reasoning constructs, which are, in fact, natural laws of intelligence. Together, these simple naturally occurring reasoning constructs form an extremely complex knowledge and understanding system, which we call: natural language.
I am implementing these naturally occurring reasoning constructs in software, which is published as open source. Thinknowlogy is the world's only naturally intelligent knowledge technology.
Thinknowlogy
Science relies on the assumption that we live in an ordered universe that is subject to exact, deterministic, and consistent laws of nature. In search for the exact, deterministic, and consistent laws of nature involved with intelligence, I have discovered that natural intelligence
is a set of naturally occurring logic, which is more advanced than the logic already described by scientists. I have identified the human language and spatial information as sources of natural intelligence. My focus is on language.
As a Christian, I believe that nature is designed intelligently. And I believe that, in principle, any intelligent design can be unraveled using reverse engineering. Using reverse engineering, I am replicating natural intelligence in software based on God's intelligent design of the human language, which I call the Laws of Intelligence that are naturally found in the Human Language. My automated reasoning system has results that scientists can't deliver because scientific theories are inadequate to define intelligence in a natural, consistent, and deterministic way.
Moreover, I have discovered that these naturally occurring reasoning constructs provide the human language with its self-organizing capabilities. By utilizing the self-organizing properties of language, my software — called Thinknowlogy — is the world's only self-organizing reasoning system.
Although many languages exist, God has designed the human language only once. This one design applies to all languages. I have configured the logic of my system for five languages: English, Spanish, French, Dutch, and Chinese, while scientific reasoning systems are limited to one language.
My software is published as open source. So, anyone with programming knowledge can explore how my system works.
Advanced explanation
I am using fundamental science (logic and laws of nature) instead of cognitive science (simulation of behavior), because:
-
Autonomous reasoning requires both natural intelligence and natural language;
-
Intelligence and language are natural phenomena;
-
Natural phenomena obey the laws of nature;
-
Laws of nature and logic are investigated using fundamental science.
These Laws of Intelligence that are naturally found in the Human Language are demonstrated by:
-
Reasoning in natural language:
-
Drawing conclusions (more advanced than scientific solutions),
-
Making assumptions (with self-adjusting level of uncertainty),
-
Asking questions (about gaps in the knowledge),
-
Detecting confirmations, conflicts, and some cases of semantic ambiguity,
-
Displaying justification reports for the self-generated knowledge;
-
-
Multilingualism, proving: Natural languages have one common and logical origin.
My automated reasoning system has results that scientists can't deliver — under the same strict precondition — because scientific theories are inadequate to describe natural intelligence. Therefore, I defy anyone to beat the simplest results of my reasoner in a generic (=scientific) way, under the same strict preconditions as my system:
- From readable sentences (with restricted grammar, Controlled Natural Language),
-
through natural logic (natural intelligence),
-
with the results expressed in readable, autonomously — word-by-word — constructed sentences,
-
in multiple languages (*),
-
without programmed or trained knowledge,
-
without human-written output sentences,
-
without extensive word lists,
-
published as — free of charge — open-source software, just like my software is published as open-source.
(*) Logic is (almost) language-independent. My natural reasoner therefore implements an (almost) language-independent logic, which is configured for five languages: English, Spanish, French, Dutch and Chinese.
