Rather easily - take the differential equations of a body falling
through the atmosphere, and take "speed" as "intelligence" (ie there
is a friction factor growing with your level of intelligence).
There's even a phase space argument for this - the more intelligent
you get, the more likely it is that any random change will be
detrimental rather than improving.
