Conceptual space

Conceptual space is like a playground. Imagine a big open space with lots of different kinds of things – like a room full of obstacles, like an obstacle course. Each obstacle is something different – like a ball, a wall, or a cube – and when you try to get through the space, you need to think of ways to get around the obstacles and how to use them. This is like a concept - you need to think of how to get around the different obstacles, and if you can do it well, then you understand the concept.
