In this article we consider the problem of creative metaphors -- that is, those metaphors that induce new ontologies and new structures on an object or a situation, thereby creating new perspectives -- and how they might be modeled formally. We argue that to address this problem we need to fix the model, and study how different theories organize the model differently. We briefly present some algebraic mechanisms that can be used to formalize this intuition, and discuss some of their implications. Then we provide a few examples to illustrate our approach. Finally, we emphasize that our proposed mechanisms are meant to supplement the existing algebraic approaches to formalizing metaphor, and are not suggested as a replacement.
