Relationships between concepts are tensors, concepts are defined by their relationships to adjacent concepts, the conceptual universe is a directed spatial graph with low local and high global dimensionality, traversing the paths between any two concept yields mutual information.

Are you familiar with the Web Ontology Language (OWL)? Similar. My personal view is that you can’t just define concepts in terms of other concepts - that’s Searle’s Chinese Room scenario. Symbol Grounding techniques are needed. Children start learning with situated embodiment.

Symbols are not grounded in the physical world, but in the mental simulation of a world that is in part physical (i.e. built on a causally closed mechanical layer that we model geometrically), and in part symbolic.

If that world is partly physical and partly symbolic, what kind of symbols is the symbolic part using and what is their meaning?

It is the simulation of world of physical events (our model of stuff in space etc.) and the world of ideas: meaning, culture, sociality, relationships, art, economy etc.
