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.
