Example: there is a book of a researcher named Titu I. Bajenescu with the
title "The performance of the artificial intelligence" (Albastra Publishing
House, Sibiu, Romania, in Romanian language). In the Bibliography of this
book, the author has many hundreds titles, including 241 of his own. There is,
in the book, a dictionary of the main terms used by author.
One of these terms is "intelligence". The author defines it by 16 different
statements which contains at least 12 undefined words (to know, to understand,
rational, conceptual knowledge, sensation, intuition, to discover, spirit, to
addapt, character, to learn, problem, experience...).
Thus, to understand what is "intelligence" we need to know in advance the
definitions associated with all of these terms. These defintitions must
contain only words which are already defined.... An endless proces starts in
this way.
Of course, the author has no definition of the term "intelligence"; he has
only a description of it. Even worse, based of the impressive bibliography, it
is clear that this very important term has no definition. The authot himself
recognize this by saying: "the intelligence is a hard to define concept
because it is impossible to find a single definition to be accepted by all".
In association with the above example, MDT-model generates the normal
definition of the term "intelligence" as the facility to make and opperate a
long range model.
The book cited above cannot be used and the situation is the same with all the
books associated with the function of the brain, available now.
I used only brute data associated with the history of the human species (e.g.
dictionaries or press reports) which cannot be cited in a specific way.
