Hofstadter: Generalization involves the ability to internally reconfigure an idea, by • moving internal boundaries back and forth; • swapping components or shifting substructures from one level to another; • merging two substructures into one or breaking one substructure into two; • lengthening or shortening a given component; • adding new components or new levels of structure; • replacing one concept by a closely related one; • trying out the effect of reversals on various conceptual levels; and so on.
