position by analyzing ones surrounding ambiance. For example, if we bring a perceptive blind person into a restaurant, he/she would likely be able to determine his/her position by the voices in the background, the clanging of dishes, and the aroma of items being served.

Communication - ability of a being to convey thoughts to another being. This is accomplished by an action and is conveyed via the senses - sight, sound, touch and to a much lesser sense smell and taste. Humans perform action-based communication by the written word, body language, the spoken word, and music. Music, while mostly considered entertainment, as a form of communication expresses the artist's opinions and feelings. Most animals have the ability to communicate but nowhere near the complexity of human communication. For example, although a dog primarily communicates sonically with his barking, he can also communicate through actions such as waging his tail, licking a face, or marking his territory.

The ability to use communication to

develop group strategies denotes a higher level of intelligence. In order for a being to develop a strategy involving other beings, the being must communicate an action plan. This type of strategic action is seen in carnivorous hunters such as wolves, lions, and hyenas, which often hunt in packs. These types of beings use the advantage of their strategic intelligence to outsmart and eventually capture their prey.

Mathematics - the ability to deal with very complex, vague, and non-concrete relationships. Numbers and symbols represent these relationships

and they are particularly obvious in algebra. For example, the equation y = 5x explains that quantity y relates to quantity x in such a way that y is always five times larger than x.

Philosophy - is the realization of knowledge and self. This is the final and most complex level of the intelligence scale and through its realization, we are able to discover and define complex relationships. Many beings are capable of performing complex mathematical calculations. For example, a hawk estimates the flight of a bird or a lion estimates the intercept path of its prey. One can train a dog to project the flight of a ball and catch it in midair just as a baseball outfielder makes adjustments to catch a batted fly ball. To catch these balls, both the dog and the outfielder had to solve a complex mathematical problem. Both calculated the trajectory of the ball by estimating velocity, distance, and rate of fall as well as estimating their own velocity. Even though both the human and the dog caught the ball, the outfielder is the more intelligent because he has the ability to discover the reason why he caught the ball. The ballplayer can understand that math could aid him to catch the ball and that the same math can be applied to hunting or merging onto a freeway. The dog on the other hand, with no notion of math, just catches the ball.

This theory, known as Knowledge-Awareness, describes the ability of a being to express subconscious knowledge into the conscious mind. Once acquired, this conscious knowledge can be applied to external objects and events or can be passed onto other beings (as is often done in school). In the above example, the dog does not have knowledge-awareness,
