[FRIAM] tools, trollers, and language

Hm.  I guess I'll say it at least one more time.  I did NOT offer an onion as a model of complexity.  You're using Goebbles on me, aren't you?  Here:

I did NOT offer an onion as a model of complexity.
I did NOT offer an onion as a model of complexity.
I did NOT offer an onion as a model of complexity.

A mongoose and a rutabaga are also things that can be "sliced up, analysed..." etc, but you did not mention those.  You did not offer a rutabaga model of complexity; you offered an onion one.  Is there some OTHER  "process of mind" other than metaphor-making that gets you from complexity to onions?
