Completion
In blending theory, one of the three component processes that give rise to emergent structure. Completion involves schema induction : the recruitment of background frames. These complete the composition. For instance, in the Clinton as French president integration network, which is prompted by the utterance: In France, Clinton wouldn't have been harmed by his affair with Monica Lewinsky, the process of completion introduces the frames for French politics and French moral attitudes. (For discussion of this blend see the entry for conceptual integration.)Without the structure provided by these frames, we would lose the central inference emerging from the blend, which is that Clinton's affair with Lewinsky would not harm Clinton in France. This process of schema induction is called 'completion' because structure is recruited to 'fill out' or complete the information projected from the inputs in order to derive the emergent structure in the blended space.
