Structure of Intelligence

Intelligence is a solution to the problem of adapting across diverse environments. Fields like learning theory, computational complexity theory, game theory, and social choice theory each study what is theoretically possible for intelligent agents in certain contexts under specific sets of constraints (information, computation, trust, etc.).

But some rich structures of intelligent systems only emerge when these constraints are combined. I believe there is some low-hanging fruit to be found in taking underconstrained and the overly-abstracted models often used in these settings, and trying to give them flesh.
