Abstract

A review of the state of the art in space mapping technology, and why space mapping works. We discuss space mapping as a natural mechanism for the brain to relate objects or images with other objects, images, reality, or experience; that "experienced" engineering designers (experts), knowingly or not, routinely employ (or have employed) space mapping to achieve complex designs; that with virtually no mathematics, simple everyday examples illustrate space mapping, e.g., archery, stone-throwing, cheese-cutting, log-cutting, cake-cutting, shoe-selection; and that space mapping offers a quantitative explanation for the engineer’s mysterious "feel" for a problem. We conclude with conjectures and proposals.
