Part II: EGBChapter 12
Minds and Thoughts
Semantic networks. How concepts link together.
Our minds are not filing cabinets; they are webs. Concepts are defined by their relationships to other concepts. 'Bridge' is linked to 'Water', 'Arch', 'Crossing', etc. This chapter visualizes the mind as a Semantic Network, where thinking is the activation spreading through these links. It explains how we can jump from one idea to another in a 'stream of consciousness'.

"Symbols in the brain are not isolated; they are defined by their connections to other symbols."
