    The Architecture of Blending
    The standard model of Conceptual Integration involves four primary mental spaces: two or more input spaces ($I1, I2, \dots, I_n$), a generic space ($G$), and the resultant blend ($B$).

    The Generic Space
    The Generic Space ($G$) is an abstract structure representing the shared, non-specific elements common to all input spaces. It acts as a scaffold upon which the specific connections required for blending are mapped. It is theorized that the generic space possesses a lower entropic signature than the inputs, effectively 'pre-organizing' the potential for integration. For example, in the blend 'Life is a Journey,' the generic space contains the abstract schema of *[Movement Through D…
