Intelligence is the ability to create something new, with a distinct purpose or function. It does not rely on visualizing it first; it simply requires it to be unique from what you already know.

“ability to efficiently adopt to novelty” – this follows the logic of “creating something new” as behaving differently based on external triggers that you did or did not have before is a “new” conclusion reached and then a reaction to it
