You can’t “write down the rules” for intelligence. Not for any reasonable definition of “writing”. The medium of writing is not rich enough to express what is needed. This is why GOFAI failed.

I remember like 10 years ago seeing some people getting really excited by CRDTs. I was deeply confused about how the software would magically know what the correct thing to do would be when 2 people made edits that directly conflicted with
