Is Reality "Intelligent"?

@CC,
Just ran across this interesting concept that may fit your general description of the body’s “mindscape”.

The Physical Stance

Imagine you wanted to predict the result of a very simple event, like releasing a rock from your hand. Using your knowledge about the laws of nature, you would guess that the rock will fall down, not rise up. Dennett calls this thinking process the “physical stance” because it views the object whose behavior is to be predicted as being under control of physical laws. This perspective affords the potential for amazing precision in your predictions. If you have accurate information about the important variables - the angle and velocity of the rock’s release, etc, you can determine almost exactly what it will do after leaving your hand. Physicists, chemists and engineers primarily use the physical stance in their work. A lot of what we think of as “science” is applying the physical stance.

Then there is another perspective what Dennett calls the “Intentional Stance”
