Ference asked: "Any evidence to

Why mechanisms? More intricate in what
sense? How can you separate existence and operation as properties from any
object?".
I mentioned in my last: "the intelligence portability and its capacity to take on different
forms as mental intelligence, social intelligence, artifical intelligence,
networked intelligence, city intelligence, etc."
That means that the ultimate boundary of your mind is not your
head, but the largest environment called the universe.
You have to review the so-called Cartesian Mind model assuming
the centralized mindset, when mind is viewed as responsible for all intelligent
activities, a human being considered as the main source/engine of
intellectual powers.
Instead, you need to accept the distributed nature
of intelligence, that there is no boundary between an individual mind, cultural
artifacts, other minds and the environment. This is the sure way to see how
the higher-level intellectual systems emerge, collective knowledge networks and
innovative knowledge communities.
To start, i recommend to read the following:
Mind in Society (Vygotsky, 1978)
Turtles, termites and traffic jam (Resnik, 1993)
Natural-born cyborgs: Minds, technologies, and the future of
human intelligence (Clark, 2003)
Semantic Reality and Intelligence: the World Wisdom Web
(2010)
Think of how a traditional conception of intelligence
explains the phenomenon: a flock of birds guided by a leading bird.

The list above is a list of synonyms, none of which are
defined properly anywhere. Intellect, reason, mind, thinking. spirit and soul
are similar floating categories. But there is no such thing as a synonym. What
you have is a list of words that can be replaced by one another, with the
consequence of pulling the related connotations in focus as
well.
