Based on SOC occupation classification
Perform bisociation at multiple abstraction levels
Complete blend with background knowledge
Compose new connections in blended space
Construct complete 4-space blends with emergent structure. Orchestrates input-space-construction → generic-space-extraction → blend-composition.
Run blend as mental simulation
