what the hell, right? Below is Perplexity's response when queried
for background needed to start on an interdisciplinary program to
do a competent literature review for a theory of metaphor.
Obviously I started with the 10 post corpus and expanded from
there. I feel like computational linguistics would at least
partially cover what I said in the previous post. So to do a good
job, we need expertise in philosophy of language, theoretical and
computational linguistics, and neuroscience (and/or experimental
psychology). I use Perplexity because she's never yet lied to me
about references (and the others have lied to me … a LOT, the
bastards). But these references are still poor quality for the
most part, especially [3], which is just a conversation with
ChatGPT. :face_with_rolling_eyes: <br>

<li data-line="5" class="code-line" dir="auto"
style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;"><strong
style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Carnap</strong><span> </span>focused
on the precision of language and the method of
“explication”—replacing imprecise or metaphorical notions with
clear, scientific language. To him, metaphors had psychological
appeal but were obstacles unless rendered into rigorous terms;
meaning was considered in relation to linguistic frameworks and
their pragmatic use, not as a direct window into cognition or
the body[1].</li>

strict distinctions between analytic and synthetic (i.e.,
logically true versus empirically contingent), emphasizing<span> </span><em
style="box-sizing: border-box;">holism</em>: all
knowledge—including logic and language—is interconnected and
susceptible to revision. Metaphors like Neurath’s boat became
models for how concepts are interdependent within a web of
belief, but not in the same embodied or experiential way
emphasized by cognitive linguists[1][2].</li>

Hofstadter</strong><span> </span>frames analogy as the “engine
of cognition”—not merely a linguistic or literary device but the
fundamental way humans think and reason. In his view, all
concepts are “bundles of analogies,” and analogy-making operates
at every level of cognition, above and beyond language[3][4].</li>

style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;"><strong
style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">George
Lakoff</strong>, building from cognitive linguistics, sees
metaphor as central to “embodied cognition.” Metaphors are not
mere icing on language but are structuring principles of thought
itself, rooted in bodily experience and sensory-motor systems
(e.g., “Life is a Journey” shapes reasoning and
behavior)[5][6][7].</li>

Quine’s holistic web of knowledge and Carnap’s framework-based
philosophy help illuminate how conceptual systems allow meaning
to emerge and shift, neither can fully ground Lakoff’s or
Hofstadter’s theories. Both analytic philosophers were wary of
metaphor as an explanatory tool—except in circumscribed
ways—whereas Lakoff and Hofstadter make metaphor and analogy the<span> </span><em

<li data-line="20" class="code-line" dir="auto"
style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;">Neuroscience
and experimental psychology have provided evidence that metaphor
and analogy-making are rooted in neural processes. For instance,
studies of right hemisphere processing and research on spatial
and conceptual metaphors suggest that metaphoric and literal
language involve overlapping brain circuits, challenging the
older notion that metaphor is just secondary
“ornamentation”[8][9].</li>
<li data-line="21" class="code-line" dir="auto"
style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;">Research
supports Lakoff’s thesis that conceptual metaphors bridge
physical experience and abstract thought, showing mappings
between embodied actions and higher-level conceptual
reasoning[5][8][9].</li>

<li data-line="24" class="code-line" dir="auto"
style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;">The field of
cognitive linguistics (where Lakoff’s work is foundational) has
demonstrated empirically that metaphor governs pervasive
patterns in language and thought, suggesting that the structure
of logic in language is itself metaphoric to a surprising
degree[6][7].</li>
<li data-line="25" class="code-line" dir="auto"

insights go well beyond the analytic tradition’s focus on formal
language and highlight the “embodied mind” as a nexus for logic,

<li data-line="42" class="code-line" dir="auto"

style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Quine and
Carnap provide partial philosophical foundations</strong><span> </span>for
thinking about how meaning and knowledge are systemic and
context-dependent, but<span> </span><strong
style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">neither
grounds metaphor or analogy as central to cognition in the way
Lakoff and Hofstadter envision</strong>.</li>
<li data-line="43" class="code-line" dir="auto"
style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;"><strong
style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Interdisciplinary
perspectives—especially from cognitive neuroscience,
linguistics, and psychology—are necessary to fully link the
logic-language discussions of analytic philosophy to the
metaphor-based frameworks of Lakoff and Hofstadter</strong>.</li>
<li data-line="44" class="code-line" dir="auto"
style="box-sizing: border-box; position: relative;">The logic of
language, as Carnap explored, gains new grounding and
explanatory power when viewed through the lens of embodied,
brain-based metaphor and analogy highlighted by cognitive
science and contemporary linguistics[5][6][8][9][7].</li>

Attached. And I may find the energy/desire to do some kind of work
fleshing it out. But first, Steve's invocation of "explanation"
(either in the xAI sense or the science/knowledge sense) reminded
me of Melanie's article:

In contrasting Hofstadter's conception versus Lakoff's, and in
light of our (well, some of us) reification of LLMs as humans or
humans as LLMs, the question that consistently emerges is What is
the relationship between computation and body?
<br>
<br>
I've expressed my stance several times, I think. That formal
definitions of "compute", like the one Lee proposed awhile back
(by Soare) [⛧] that requires computation be definite, do not exist
outside or apart from bodies of some kind. So in the context of
both Dave's brain-computer and Eric's actual-formal evolution, my
stance is not Platonic (or Popper's World 3 ... or whatever).
Even/especially things like code/proofs executable as software
have bodies. To some extent, if it can't be executed, then it's
not True/real, hearkening back to "effective procedures" or
somesuch. But going back to Eric's question on 7/16/25 6:19 PM
about what work is done by the theory itself, assuming some of
these abstractions (analogies, computable expressions) are
schematic, we can make them less semantic/bound/definite by making
them polysemous/multiply[bound|defined]. So in Eric's case, the
terms in the/a logic of evolution can be unbound and rebound to a
new context (and maybe tested for inference and fidelity after the
rebinding). Or in Dave's (and Steve's and Melanie's), unbind our
"language" about people and rebind them to LLMs. Then as in ALife,
rebind evolution and maybe even brain-computer (given models like
Beliefs, Desires, and Intention or other forms of agency). I'm too
ignorant to understand [un|re]binding in RNA Worlds - but I assume
something similar could be done, as Eric seems to suggest.
<br>
<br>
So my answer to the relationship between computation and body,
maybe resolving Hofstadter vs Lakoff, lies in this [un|re]binding
of the "logic". And where such [un|re]binding fails, you can
ratchet it back a bit. Maybe not *all* the terms in the logic can
be [un|re]bound, but *some* can. To be clear, I'm also talking
about functions being [un|re]bound/implemented, not merely atoms.
<br>
<br>
To me, that sort of program would lead to a methodologically
useful theory of analogy/metaphor. I feel like I've been infected
with something like type theory in saying this. I can't help but
think there is a cadre of people already doing this work. They
just don't call it "theory of metaphor".
