[MD] Reductionism

[Krimel]

[John]
I am honestly trying to be non-pedantic here Krimel, but "Concepts are
static" and "conceptual systems are organic; they change and grow"
 contradict.   Unless "concepts" are completely different than "conceptual
systems", which doesn't make any sense to me seeing as how every concept
includes some systemic matrix for meaning and every conceptual system is
also a concept, in and of itself.

[Krimel]
Concepts are relatively simple, like words. Conceptual systems are more like
words combined into sentences and larger patterns of meaning. Conceptual
systems can be formal even hierarchical like the periodic table or
biological taxonomy. But more often than not they are just networks of ideas
and patterns of association. As in; "red" is a concept I associate with
roses and apples and cherries and firetrucks.
