Abstract
Our computer reasoning system uses a set of memory networks, a spatial simulator and an object-oriented hierarchy of body-based spatial metaphors to reason about abstract concepts. The metaphor hierarchy is based on the hierarchical nature of embodied actions, and the simulator is designed to model these actions. The system maps its input to a set of spatial metaphors at the most detailed level possible, and then uses modeling of the metaphorical concepts to reason about the original input.
