Primes

• Analogy
  • … distant analogies to import solution patterns from one domain into another (the Velcro invention from burrs, synectics methodologies in design). Policy analysis, history, and comparative social science use analogies between historical and current situations to project outcomes and risks, with varying degrees of rigor.

    This sourceDevelops a theory of comparison-as-analogical-mapping in which the operation is run by jointly satisfying structural, semantic, and pragmatic constraints; supplies a formal model of the five-role machinery (comparands, alignment-rule, output relation) the prime names.

• Comparison
  • The cognitive-science treatment by Holyoak and Thagard (1989) characterizes this as a constraint-satisfaction process running over structural, semantic, and pragmatic constraints — a formal model of the role-slots the operation requires.

    This sourceTheory of analogical mapping driven by interacting structural, semantic, and pragmatic constraints (the ACME model) — supplies a formal model of the role-slots (comparands, alignment rule, output relation) the prime names; supports the constraint-satisfaction characterization.
