Zusammenfassung:Worldviews are changed by higher viewpoints that can develop by metaphoric process, the equating of two formerly disparate known concepts. The equating results in a distortion—a tectonic reformation—of the associated fields of meanings that effects a rearrangement of associated concepts leading to new cognitive relations.

Metaphoric process may further understanding of the formation of diverse worldviews and their reconciliation.
