We explain that the concept of universal cognitive intelligence (𝒰𝒞ℐ) can be derived in part by generalization from the previously introduced (and axiomatized) theory of cognitive consciousness, and the framework, Λ, for measuring the degree of such consciousness in an agent at a given time. 𝒰𝒞ℐ (i) covers intelligence that is artificial or natural (or a hybrid thereof) in nature, and intelligence that is not merely Turing-level or less, but also beyond this level; (ii) reflects a psychometric orientation to AI; (iii) withstands a series of objections (including e.g. the opposing position of David Gamez on tests, intelligence, and consciousness, and the complaint that so-called “emotional intelligence” is beyond the reach of any logic-based framework, including thus 𝒰𝒞ℐ); and (iv) connects smoothly and symbiotically with important formal hierarchies (e.g., the Polynomial, Arithmetic, and Analytic Hierarchies), while at the same yielding its own new all-encompassing hierarchy of logic machines: 𝔏𝔐. We end with an admission: 𝒰𝒞ℐ by our lights, for reasons previously published, cannot take account of any form of intelligence that genuinely exploits phenomenal consciousness.
