What in the spheres and their links. Also, each of these chemistry etc), although defined are not the post i made on "death of www": because all categories of things (even, or especially "simple" and "ob "
stuff like categories in nature) oo cannot away no problem!

Structural similarities can basically be:
metaphor (i use this structural pattern here, used a similar structure over ther> and its

metonymy (wher> an attribute of a category stands for the whole category: e.g.
"the

structural extension (this looks like a fish, so lets call it a fish)

If you had a way to scan webspace for these structures, look for metaphor, metonymy
and structural extensions, i guess like intelligence.
