Here, Minsky elaborates his trans-frame to be more general (i.e., to include components consistent with Jackendoff's notion of conceptual structure. Minsky argues that this is a general structure prominent in many styles of thinking. "I suspect that Trans-like structures have a special prominence in how we think. One reason is that some sort of bridgelike scheme seems indispensable for making those all-important connections between structures and functions."
(NB: For something so prominent, I have little sense of what its structure is, even with the supplied figure!)
