General Presentation of the IEML Semantic Sphere
Pierre Lévy · 2013
This chapter devotes to the general properties of the semantic sphere, which serves as a system of coordinates for the IEML model of the mind. The chapter examines the properties of the semantic sphere: unity, calculability, symmetry, internal coherence and inexhaustible complexity. It introduces the general properties of the IEML semantic sphere, which is to the mind what geometric space is to matter. Just as the space containing matter is symmetrical, the semantic sphere containing ideas has to process all the semantic addresses formalizing concepts as interchangeable variables that can be transformed into each other symmetrically. The chapter highlights the inexhaustible complexity of the functions for producing circuits among concepts. Controlled Vocabulary Terms computational complexity; programming language semantics
