Unawares Mike you are formulating your own local mathematical model of intelligence using symbols and operations readily available in your mind and elsewhere. It might not be the popularly accepted math standardized and developed by typically trained and skilled individuals, but your system will "flow" that way over time. It approximates, perhaps working better in some ways, not better in others. Bending, stretching, creating the rules, a subjective projective.. That's just the way it is. MikeMath.
