Editing Mental Spaces and Blending (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Mental Spaces''' — "Small mental packets" constructed as we think and talk for purposes of "Local Understanding" and "Action."
* '''Conceptual Blending''' — The "Process" of "Integrating" two or more "Mental Spaces" to create a "New Space" (The Blend).
* '''The Four-Space Model''':
# '''Input Space 1''' — The first idea (e.g., 'A Surgeon').
# '''Input Space 2''' — The second idea (e.g., 'A Butcher').
# '''Generic Space''' — What they have in "Common" (e.g., 'A person cutting meat with a sharp tool').
# '''The Blend''' — The "New Idea" (e.g., 'A "Butcher-Surgeon"' - an incompetent doctor).
* '''Emergent Structure''' — The "New Properties" that appear in the Blend but are not in the Inputs (e.g., 'Sarcasm' or 'Horror').
* '''Compression''' — When a "Long, Complex Story" is "Condensed" into a "Single, Simple Image" (e.g., the 'Evolutionary Tree').
* '''Counterfactual''' — A mental space where we "Imagine what DIDN'T happen" (e.g., 'If I had won the lottery...').
* '''Vital Relations''' — The "Links" between spaces (e.g., 'Time,' 'Space,' 'Cause,' 'Identity').
* '''Analogy''' — A "Partial Mapping" between two spaces.
* '''Integration Network''' — A "Map" of all the spaces and links involved in a complex thought.
