I think Levin might argue (I don't actually know) that a vacuum would score a zero. If he's assigning things like chemical processes an intelligence score, I think he might score an iron atom an intelligence score. He's explicitly pushing around the definition of intelligence though, like light was once meant only visible light.
Yeah, I can kind of see it. "Intelligence" is something like ability to adapt/respond to the environment. That gets super weird, though, when it's not at all clear what the objective function is.
With living things, at least we think we know the objective function is something like what's laid out in The Selfish Gene.
