Alan Watts, and to some extent Pierre Grimes analysing Plato, gave me some good thoughts on this.
If we weren't neural networks, prone to classification, the question might be, are there different kinds of intelligence? Or is what we do, (throwing boundaries around things and concepts), intelligence by definition only?

If forty-two trees fall in a forest and no one is around to count them
When the trees fall, something is happening on the space time manifold, but I don't think it's accurate to say without the computational aparatus to perceive it that "42 trees are falling".
