Blend Construction

Construct complete 4-space blends with emergent structure following the Fauconnier-Turner conceptual integration network model.

Stages

Stage 1: Input Space Construction

Build rich input spaces for both source concepts using input-space-construction SOP. Each space must include elements, relations, attributes, and internal logic.

Stage 2: Generic Space Extraction

Extract the shared abstract structure from both input spaces using generic-space-extraction SOP. The generic space captures what the two inputs have in common at the most abstract level.

Stage 3: Blend Composition

Compose the blended space by selectively projecting structure from both inputs and creating new connections using blend-composition SOP. The blend must develop emergent structure not present in either input.

Minimum Yield

| Metric | Floor | |--------|-------| | Complete 4-space blends | ≥2 | | Emergent structures per blend | ≥1 | | Vital relations compressed | ≥3 per blend | | Novel connections in blend | ≥2 per blend |
