Is it not more probable intelligence and information are two sides of the same coin always existing together being what IS? "Provided by" makes it sound as if at some point in time information didn't exist. That makes no sense. What is intelligence without information? In my view - nothing.

> Bbella: I would put it: Therefore intelligence uses information for new developments. Do you think that would be saying the same thing?-Which is cart and which is horse? Only intelligence can make useful information for the function of processes such as life. I think the function then is automatic by following the information plans.
