The word "intelligence" is thrown around without anyone bothering to define it. Why are stigmergic/reactive fluctuations of these biofilms considered intelligence?
I prefer the Jeff Hawkins definition: Intelligence is the ability to make good predictions. Biofilms and other stigmergic systems such as ant colonies do not seem to fit this definition.
