For learning, what analogies can be built in terms of "building/constructing"?

In order to find some useful analogies, the first step is to understand “building” in learning.

In learning theory, some terms are related to building/constructing

• In behaviorism: association
• In CIP, decoding and encoding is about building the long-term memory
• In Ausubel’s theory, build cognitive structure
• In Schema theory, build schema and mental model
• In Educational Semiotics theory, build sign in mind
• In Vygotsky’s theory, internalization
• In Bruner’s theory, build m-mode of representation
• In Biological view of learning, build neural network

Using a function-like-language to describe:

Build (x), what is the x?

• x= synthesis of (long-term memory, cognitive structure, schema, mental model, sign-representation-in-mind, neural network)
• In terms of analogy, like build a network of machines? a group of plays? a city etc.?
