That is correct for all deterministic systems, like Turing Machine. However, I really don't like to describe the internal situations of a system (or the external situation of its environment) using "state". Though it is the common practice, this notion implies that the description is complete and precise, which is often impossible. In this paper, you can see that I only mentioned "state" in the first category (Structure-AI), and leave it out for the other categories, even though for those we still can discuss their states, as you suggested. > > Consequently, it becomes a special case of my "Principle-AI", with a > > compound function: > > AC = GC(FC(PC)), AH = GH(FH(PH)), GC(FC()) ≈ GH(FH()) > That would depend on whether the ≈ relation is exactly.

At the current stage, I'm not really trying to propose a quantitative measurement for intelligence or the similarity between systems. Instead, I'm looking for qualitative difference among working definitions of intelligence. I just have to assume that it is meaningful to talk about the similarity between systems in several aspects, and that will be enough for the conclusion of the paper.
