If a metaphor is heavily developed within a metaphor space (lots of Networks between concepts), it can have the effect of providing a warp portal to other spaces, facilitating the joining of distant ones
Network of Concepts
Conceptual Network
knowledge network, I sense a difference in nuance.
There is a nuance of "objective" implicit in "knowledge".
What is being discussed here is subjective Weltanschauung (philosophy), world view, world description.
Uexküll's Ringworld Theory
Associative Networks is closer.
What suggestion is the situation is connected by "recollection" and "virtual viewing" of the world.
For example, right now the reader here has "drop and break" connected to "glass cup".
But in the future, people living in zero-gravity or low-gravity colonies will not connect this association because they can retrieve it before it cracks.
Even in a world where unbreakable plastic cups dominate history and "glass cups" are only found in museums, the associations don't connect.
