Later efforts (for attributed grammars, semantic networks, etc.) used many more primitives.
Semantic primitive / "Interlingua" based formalisms never quite caught on for the most part, however.
the <"X---" == left> and <"---X" == right> example is an example of an analogical representation -- these have sensorimotor/perceptual groundings and mimic how we actually learn some concepts, but although there has been some research in AI in utilizing analogical representations internally, it is not typical.
