[John] I am honestly trying to be non-pedantic here Krimel, but "Concepts are static" and "conceptual systems are organic; they change and grow" contradict. Unless "concepts" are completely different than "conceptual systems", which doesn't make any sense to me seeing as how every concept includes some systemic matrix for meaning and every conceptual system is also a concept, in and of itself.
[Krimel] Concepts are relatively simple, like words. Conceptual systems are more like words combined into sentences and larger patterns of meaning. Conceptual systems can be formal even hierarchical like the periodic table or biological taxonomy. But more often than not they are just networks of ideas and patterns of association. As in; "red" is a concept I associate with roses and apples and cherries and firetrucks.
