Primes¶
- Conceptual Blending
- The "Buddhist monk" thought experiment analyzed by Fauconnier and Turner exemplifies how blending yields inferential structure absent from either input alone.
This sourceSUPPORTS markers 180 & 181 (the Buddhist-monk example and blending's inferential work beyond input/analogy) and 186 (T6: the claim that blending is foundational to 'almost all' human cognition — this is exactly the F&T thesis being characterized). Link is the archive.org copy.
- The "Buddhist monk" thought experiment analyzed by Fauconnier and Turner exemplifies how blending yields inferential structure absent from either input alone.
- Metaphor
- Modern approaches to metaphor further incorporate conceptual blending theory (Fauconnier & Turner 2002), which extends single-domain mappings to multi-domain compressions where novel emergent structure arises in the blend
This sourceThe canonical statement of conceptual blending theory; comprehensive coverage of integration networks, optimality principles, and applications across language, mathematics, science, and culture; extensively analyzes the Buddhist-monk and other canonical examples.

- Metaphor (Visual/Artistic)
- The production of new conceptual insight or emotional effect through visual juxtaposition or compositional relationship, a generative effect Fauconnier and Turner (2002) frame as conceptual blending

- Translation and Conceptual Bridging
- Blending creates novel conceptual structures, as Fauconnier and Turner (2002) detail in their account of conceptual integration networks; Translation preserves and transfers existing understanding from one system to another, necessarily with loss and distortion.

Mechanisms¶
- Concept Blend Canvas
- It is the working surface for what Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner called conceptual blending: two mental spaces, a partial mapping between them, and a projection into a third.
This sourceIntroduces conceptual blending as selective mapping and projection from input mental spaces into a distinct blended space.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 5 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
