"Intelligence is the ability to perceive information, organize information into knowledge, and, with knowledge, act", which defines the basis of intelligence and its mechanism has mathematical logic. In addition to defining what intelligence is, it gives you the ability to check if something has intelligence and what kind of intelligence. Intelligence is Perception > Knowledge > Action, if one element of these is missing it is not intelligence, but it can manifest intelligence. Example: The simple thermometer seems to perceive temperature and acts by showing the temperature. It has no knowledge of this process, nor does it perceive it itself, but it shows that something intelligent made it and that is how it is. The bacterium, which is a simple form of life and perceives and knows what it does and acts for it and survives, verifies the law.
Therefore, the law as written in the original text defines what intelligence is and does not make a qualitative distinction, but it gives man the opportunity to explore the property of every being or thing if it has intelligence and what kind of basis of this law!
It also validates itself because it proves every moment we speak that we are intelligent beings, because We perceive what someone tells us, we understand by knowing what they tell us, and we act, by answering or writing.
It isn't self-validating if it isn't valid to begin with. Your statement takes the form of "P ---> P". That makes it self-referential. It's entirely possible that what you've produced is "P is a load of bullshit ---> P is a load of bullshit". In that case, the statement is actually self-invalidating. Perhaps you begin to understand why nobody really puts much stock in this sort of tautology.
The contents of your statement are reasonable enough, but pretty basic. It probably doesn't cover a lot of what intelligence is or does. Problem solving? Moral behavior? Self-awareness? Most people would regard these as vital to any description of intelligence, but they're absent from your "Absolute Law".
And no, thermometers do not perceive temperature. They expand or contract according to their design. They are as incapable of perception as a brick.
