I am sympathetic to your general approach but not in agreement regarding the completeness of your conceptual framework, and terminology. (To begin with, one can counter that intelligence is an attribute of consciousness, and that 'the Real' is not the same thing as 'the Reality'.) And as to 'models' and 'intelligence', have you considered that a model implies language (or formalism), and/or computation? Both are known at this point to have inherent limits (undecidability and termination). And as to your footnot [OP.1], further note that every known school of thought in that domain insists on total annihilation of the 'model' as the only means of achieving perfect harmony with "Reality".
