Wait a minute! What about two solutions that take equal time, but
non-equal energy? Speed is not everything. It should be average time *
energy required, i.e., average ACTION required.

This is a much better definition. Now the concept of "intelligent
action" is mathematically coherent for me. Joy of joys!
