abstract: "This short dialogue, in Socratic prose, explores some of the most fundamental constructs in cognition: Concepts, thinking and analogy. In short, concepts are the atoms of thought and analogy is the 'ether' of concept formation. Therefore, thinking is the process of triggering memories through analogy."
