Seems as though individually and societally sometimes advances in intelligence
are preceded by expansions of consciousness and sometimes vice versa. Almost
like two "waves". For example, when you become aware of a "bigger picture" of
something or when a society does, it's as if there is a fabric of consciousness
that intelligence operates within. Consciousness being related more to a
communication layer and intelligence functioning within the physical world,
like Wisner's entropic force, evolution would optimize the communication layer
to minimize energy expenditure with maximum communication efficiency across
nodes, essentially, the multiparty communication complexity. I would view
natural language more from the perspective of a compressive communication
protocol since words are really representations of lossily compressed concepts
strung together to be decoded by other similarly decompressive and conscious
parties. If the other party is software it would emulate and reconstruct the
compressed conscious representation in an attempt to accurately decipher. But
we do realize that some words are more discrete than analog, IOW lossless
verses lossy.
