definition would not be observed.
I think it is normal to expect, or at least in my common sense, that
rationality is somehow constrained with practical limitations. So that
anything intelligent in world can't know everything. Because of that
intelligence means and needs adaptation for current context and enviroment
kind of choosing what needs to be known depending of goals ofcourse. So
because rationality is bounded it needs adapt because world around this
intelligent behaviour (allways) changes, to staying intelligent it needs to
adapt its enviroment which is never same than it was before, expect maybe in
game of Go which nesessary don't need adaptive intelligence kind of "static"
"intelligence" should be enought then but then nobody needs to call that for
intelligent anymore and so on, but that does not matter because such
philosophical questions are rarely solved anyway so thats fine.

Erik,
In perfect theory, I agree with you. In the practicality of attempting to
generate more effective computer Go players, I disagree.
In theory, there is a perfect girlfriend for me. In practicality, there
is my adapting to make the current girlfriend good enough and better, with
perfection never really obtainable.

IMO the adaptation is just a means to an end. The end (Intelligence,
whatever it is) does not necessarily require adaptation.
