Pattern Expression
Intelligence is a pattern that is applicable anywhere in Existence.
In humans, the scope of Intelligence goes beyond the mind to relate to emotions, cellular intelligence, cellular collective intelligence, etc.
Collective Intelligence
Entities also include groups of people, so a community, a nation, an organization, etc. has intelligence.
The intelligence (control system) of a rock (hardness, elasticity, density, mass, etc.) are determined by the rock's chemical composition, shape, crystalline structure, environment, etc.
A concept has intelligence as it relates to another entity. For example, a person focusing on a concept is effected by the concept in certain ways.
Concepts also have effects on other concepts. For example, saying "this philosophy will evolve" combines the intelligence of this philosophy to the intelligence of evolution. The phrase imparts a notion that this philosophy is under a process of evolution, adding to the meaning of the abstraction of and the controlling characteristics of "this philosophy".
