Exploring the essence of intelligence based on Pragmaticism's scientific method: The framework of intelligent processes

The quest for the essence of intelligence tailored around intelligent behaviors has been long exist in the history of human and artificial intelligence. The goal of such quest was to identify the behaviors capable of representing intelligence in human into artificial system. Based on claim that behavior is process and intelligent behaviors are intelligent processes, this paper proposes the framework of human intelligent processes derived and refined from abductive, deductive and inductive (ADI) reasoning modes of Peircean's scientific method as an alternative approach towards understanding intelligent behaviors and the essence of intelligence. As a result, this paper throws spotlight on the Pragmaticism's scientific method as an adequate model in representing the essence of intelligence demonstrable through intelligent systems.
