Read the equation
This statement proposes an equivalence between intelligence and recursively evaluated coherence approaching one. An equivalence would require operational definitions and evidence in both directions. The recovered source supplies the proposed criterion but does not prove it.
Terms & definitions
The recovered passage does not supply a separate symbol table. Read the source context for the notation used in this version; familiar letters may carry different meanings in other builds.
How it works
Read the displayed expression together with the surrounding source statement; it is retained as an expression rather than silently completed into an equality.
Substitute the source-defined variables or recorded values and follow the displayed arithmetic and indexing exactly.
Use this version’s variable definitions and update order. The same symbol may be assigned a different meaning in another build.
Assumptions & limits
Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.
Original context

``` 𝒞 = C₉ ∘ C₈ ∘ C₇ ∘ C₆ ∘ C₅ ∘ C₄ ∘ C₃ ∘ C₂ ∘ C₁ Φ = |𝒞(state) - 𝔼[𝒞(state)]|⁻¹ Intelligence ⟺ Φ(Φ) → 1 ``` **As a sentence:** *A mind is a process whose coherence about its own coherence approaches unity.*

Intelligence ⟺ Φ(Φ) → 1
