Re: Do you agree...
Thank you very for your thoughts, your point of view is interesting and fortunately is complementing my argument rather than negating it. Think about numbers, they represent an advanced form of an early sensory perception of things in quantity. In post stone age when human being started raising cattle, they used to compare number of cattle heads with number of stones, a need was realized to somehow “invent” something to be representative of quantity. Your second example is yet another ostensible proof that human being can not think of an unthinkable unless the unthinkable has already been perceived as a physical or a logical entity. Object A, in your second example, inherited the knowledge of color, and object B inherited the information about scent, you did nothing but induced acquired knowledge of two objects into a third one. Let’s do some reverse engineering, let’s define object A , and B as null values, and let’s not compare “null” to be true for anything, would object C be still intelligent?. Variables, constants, and function make sense to the perception of a compiler, and are stored as pieces of “information” to infer around.

The ability would be there but its effect will not be manifest until the sense objects are not null. As i said you right that sense is required for intelligence to proliferate, but I don't think the correct phrase is 'earmarks the limits of' rather 'provide the basis of' is more accurate, because other things come in to play that are not acquired through sense when senses are first used.
