Does this argument not similarly disprove the concept of "air pressure?" Many independent molecules lead to a meaningful aggregate measure. http://humanvarieties.org/2013/04/03/is-psychometric-g-a-myth/#more-1422 … http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2013/04/myths-sisyphus-and-g.html?m=1 … http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/08/10/getting-eulered/ …pic.twitter.com/hiNMlOYwlj

Good comparison. The difference is that air pressure *also* has a strong analytical model attached to it derived from first-principles axiomatic models about elastic collisions. If you give me similar model backing via neuroscience first principles, I'd be far more interested.

Oh I like that. Kolmogorov-Chaitin is my go to mental model for intelligence. See also Schmidhuber. Wisner-Gross almost had a good related idea but it appears to be bs upon deeper look.
