Abstract:

As we think and talk, rich arrays of mental spaces and connections between
them are constructed unconsciously. Conceptual integration of mental spaces
leads to new meaning, global insight, and compressions useful for memory and
creativity. A powerful aspect of conceptual integration networks is the
dynamic emergence of novel structure in all areas of human life (science,
religion, art, ...). The emergence of complex metaphors creates our
conceptualization of time. The same operations play a role in material culture
generally. Technology evolves to produce cultural human artefacts such as
watches, gauges, compasses, airplane cockpit displays, with structure
specifically designed to match conceptual inputs and integrate with them into
stable blended frames of perception and action that can be memorized, learned
by new generations, and thus culturally transmitted.
