Intelligences on the planet
The types of intelligences here on the Planet
1. Cognitive / Psychological Intelligences
Popularized in education and psychology.
Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences:
• Linguistic (word intelligence)
• Logical–mathematical (pattern + reasoning intelligence)
• Spatial (visual + geometric intelligence)
• Bodily–kinesthetic (movement intelligence)
• Musical (rhythmic intelligence)
• Interpersonal (social intelligence)
• Intrapersonal (self-awareness intelligence)
• Naturalistic (ecological pattern recognition)
Later discussions sometimes add:
• Existential intelligence (meaning-oriented intelligence)

2. Emotional & Relational Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
• Self-awareness
• Self-regulation
• Empathy
• Social skill
Relational Intelligence
• Capacity to maintain coherent connection
• Navigating conflict without fragmentation
⸻
3. Biological & Somatic Intelligence
Often under-discussed but foundational.
• Nervous system intelligence (regulation capacity)
• Immune intelligence (adaptive recognition)
• Cellular intelligence (self-organizing biological response)
• Embodied intelligence (body-based pattern sensing)
Your work often touches this layer.

4. Systems & Structural Intelligence
More relevant to Lumasphere conversations.
• Systems intelligence (seeing interdependence)
• Architectural intelligence (designing conditions that shape outcomes)
• Ecological intelligence (long-term interconnectivity awareness)
• Network intelligence (distributed coordination)
• Cybernetic intelligence (feedback loop optimization)
⸻
5. Harmonic & Field-Based Intelligences (Your Domain)
These aren’t mainstream academic categories but are coherent design lenses:
• Harmonic intelligence (quality-of-experience regulation)
• Field intelligence (distributed coherence across nodes)
• Coherence intelligence (alignment across layers)
• Resonant intelligence (frequency-matching capacity)
• Architectural intelligence (structural influence on emergence)
⸻
6. Machine / Artificial Intelligences
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Narrow AI
• General AI (AGI – theoretical)
• Collective intelligence (human–machine hybrid systems)
⸻
7. Meta-Intelligences
These govern how other intelligences integrate:
• Metacognition (thinking about thinking)
• Adaptive intelligence (learning under uncertainty)
• Integrative intelligence (cross-domain synthesis)
• Contextual intelligence (knowing what matters where)
⸻
If we zoom out:
Intelligence can be understood as:
The capacity of a system to recognize patterns and adjust behavior in a way that preserves coherence.
That definition works for:
• Cells
• Nervous systems
• Social groups
• Digital platforms
• Ecosystems
• Architectures
