Well, but I can generate a hypothetical grounding for "mushrooom pie"
on the fly even though I haven't seen one ;-)
And I can form concepts of mathematical structures that I have never
experienced nor exemplified and may in fact be inconsistent and not
even exist...
Not all concepts are formed in episodic memory, of course..

Let's take the examples:
- "apple pie" means a pie with apple fillings.
- "pizza pie" is a pie that is like pizza (not a pie with pizza fillings).
- "apple juice" means a juice made from apples.
In #1 & #3, I don't see how you can generate the target concepts merely by
mixing "apple" with "pie/juice" on the fly. In all these cases, the target
concepts are actually complex concepts that are first defined in episodic
memory (eg we know that there is this thing which is "a pie with apple
fillings", and this thing is mapped to the phrase "apple pie" by the natural
language processor).
So, complex concepts are formed in episodic memory first, using an internal
representation that is unambiguous, because they are formed from and
grounded by experience (ie sensory processing).
