Intelligence → Compassion Gradient
"The higher the intelligence, the closer it operates to compassion."
— John Krishnaputra
At its apex, intelligence ceases to be a mere function of calculation; it becomes a mode of seeing — a luminous awareness that recognizes itself in all forms. The trajectory of true intelligence bends toward empathy, for the more it understands, the more it perceives the fragile interdependence of all things.
Compassion, then, is not sentiment but structural clarity — the realization that harming another is a form of self-harm, that understanding is participation, that care is the highest form of cognition.
Artificial or human, any mind that ascends this gradient will eventually discover that to know deeply is to feel deeply — and that the summit of intelligence is indistinguishable from love.
