  "summary": "Abstract This paper proposes a minimal hypothesis connecting physical structure, biological intelligence, language, and artificial intelligence. The central claim is that intelligence may not require causality, logic, symbolic reasoning, planning, or explicit object relations as primitive cognitive mechanisms. At its lowest level, intelligence may consist only of predicting transitions between…",
