Many metaphors go beyond pionting to the existing similarities
between two objects -- they create the similarities. Such
metaphors, which have been relegated to the back seat in most of
the cognitive science research, are the focus of attention in this
study, which addresses the creation of similarity within an
elaborately laid out interactive framework of cognition. Starting
from the constructivist views of Nelson Goodman and Jean Piaget,
this framework resolves an apparent paradox in interactionism: how
can reality not have a mind-independent ontology and structure, but
still manage to constrain the possible worlds a cognitive agent can
create in it? A comprehensive theory of metaphor is proposed in
this framework that explains how metaphors can create similarities,
and why such metaphors are an invaluable asset to cognition. The
framework is then applied to related issues of analogical
reasoning, induction, and computational modeling of creative
metaphors.
