An book that inspired the idea of building a Computational Intelligence Algorithm Atlas, was Minsky's Society of Mind. Specifically, a book where each page is a new and interesting essay, allowing the reader to aggregate the information into their own perspective of the theory.

I was thinking that metaphor may not be the appropriate word to describe a perspective on an approach, as although a conceptual metaphor may be formed, it detracts from the approach facilitating "reasoning by metaphor" which is pretty much unscientific. Specifically, this is not reasoning by analogy, but rather a behaviour in CI in which features of an inspiring system are projected onto computational abstractions without support.

A better term is inspiration that can motivate computation, and appropriately be left behind.
