Moravec’s paradox is really a statement about closed vs open worlds and intelligence-based versus survival-based reward functions. Open-world rewards are illegible because survival is illegible. Persistence of situated subjective agent identity https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec's_paradox …

You might say that any construction of “intelligence” is like retrieval habits from a compressed map of a particular history of survival. A legibilization of the map results in a formalization. “Grid”: map of NY : NY :: IQ : intelligence : survival.

Intelligence correlates with survival positively when the map is more correct than not, especially where mortal threats are concerned. The “skill” aspect of intelligence is secondary. It’s just accuracy of map recall. And remember the map is a metaphor here.

If you eliminate “future is like the past” presumption, intelligence and survival become decoupled. Or worse, negatively coupled. If you try efficient Manhattan grid navigation in the right kind of perversely laid-out city, even a random walk will out-survive you.
