In Chapter 3 we alluded to both the flyball governor on a steam engine and to the thermostat in a house as examples of mechanical information-processing systems. Here we wish to examine another transition, from information-processing systems that are unintelligent, or which exhibit mere proto-intelligence, to those which might be considered intelligent.
