Schemata  
The implementation of schemata forms the human element in the structure of the ideaspace model.
Updated Sep 28, 2010 by Ignir...@gmail.com

Introduction

A model of all possible ideas and their interrelations is effectively a model of mathematics. To reduce this to simply the domain of human language, a humanity-related restriction is required. This is achieved by implementing the notion of schemata.

Details

The human mind processes and understands new information by relating it to what it already knows. In effect, the mind forms its own subconscious analogies and metaphors. This is abstracted and implemented as follows.

  • Since this is a boot-strapping process, we postulate the existence of a kernel of understanding upon which everything else is built. This is common to all humans and must therefore be genetic.
  • On top of this hereditary core understanding is the acquisition of cultural understanding. A common basis of stories and experience forms the core upon which language is built and may also counter-influence.
  • At the outer edge of understanding is personal experience. The knowledge an individual has come to understand that may be unique to himself. It is this understanding that individuals attempt to express and stimulate in others through language.
