It is paywalled. But let me just point out that "mathematical necessity" requires mathematics, which requires first and foremost rigorous definitions. "intelligence" is not a term you can define in mathematics.

>Here’s the mathematical setup: You have limited computational resources, uncertain future states, and multiple competing objectives.

Not only is that not a mathematical setup, this also applies to basically every physical system.

Intelligence can be defined over the entropy of probability measures with respect to certain posets in information theory and the construction I saw should extend to the world in abstract, but it's been a while since I read about it and am no longer sure about the details.
