And FYI again, requirement 1 states...

That remains a problematic and unjustified assertion.

Intelligence does not need something to control: dreaming.

Then you should have no problem at all showing me an intelligent entity that has no body and is made of absolutely nothing.

No, that doesn't follow at all.  You are insisting that there is no intelligence without something to control, yet dreaming is clearly a behavior associated with intelligence, even though it controls nothing and requires neither motor muscles nor confidence levels.

Behavior from a system or device qualifies as intelligent by meeting all four circuit requirements for this ability, which are: [1] Something to control (a body, either real or virtual representation) with motor muscles (proteins, electric speaker, electronic write to a screen).

Reading comprehension problem?

That's definitely a problem of reading comprehension on your part.  You are claiming that it's a "requirement for intelligence".  However, that's an unsupported assertion, and it's demonstrably wrong.  Intelligence in humans does not require "something to control".  Furthermore, for what it's worth, the presence of something controllable (which is basically everything that is material) does not indicate intelligence at work.  Where in RNA are circuits, let alone circuit requirements.  Where are its motor muscles?  It creates proteins but does not possess them or move them.
