Our investigation of the two models of our structured knowledge-storage, namely: the traditional system of 'Tree of Porphyry' and the radial network model, has made it clear that they are in fact not incompatible, as is usually said, and the so-called mental lexicon can be said to be a kind of flexible network of 'concepts', 'images' and 'propositions' which connect each other. And we named it rhizome-­like network model. We concluded that our mental lexicon has at least three types of structure; the hierarchy system of Porphyry, the 'radial' category structure, and a system like 'biological' network, which we call the Rhizome-like Network.}, pages = {27--43}, title = {The Mental Lexicon and the Architecture of Encyclopedia}, volume = {13}, year = {2017} }
