# definition of artificial intelligence    #
# focus on reality: entity, relation, view #
#==========================================#

My view of reality, at a given space and time, is my identification
of existing entities and the relations between those entities.
My current view of reality includes these entities
	Bill Gates
	Jaqui Faber
	Deep Blue
	Knowledge Explorer
	Auto Pilot
	Furnace Thermostat
and these relations
	Bill Gates is a man
	Bill Gates has intelligence
	Jaqui Faber is my granddaughter
	Jaqui Faber does not have artificial intelligence
	Deep Blue plays chess
	Deep Blue has artificial intelligence
	Knowledge Explorer helps me organize my knowledge
	Knowledge Explorer has artificial intelligence
	Auto Pilot flew me from Chicago to Sacramento
	Auto Pilot has artificial intelligence
	Furnace Thermostat keeps my house comfortable
	Furnace Thermostat does not have artificial intelligence

Focusing on the essentials, my view is that
	entity has artificial intelligence
if and only if
	entity does not live
	entity is created by man
	entity does (intelligent) action
	if man does same (intelligent) action then man has intelligence
