Hi Morten,

If you have time to look through a slightly wider scope, I'd recommend  
chapter "Down the Rabbit Hole" from Steven Pinker's "Stuff of  
Thought". It talks about how the human mind reasons about space, time  
and causation, among many other things.

The book uses language as a window to human nature. In this speech he  
explains why such approach can be a good idea:

Also, his older book "How the Mind Works" is an eye-opener.

Thanks,
Petteri
