Coming_up_with [mental_activity]
Words in this frame have to do with a Cognizer creating a new intellectual entity, the Idea. These words are similar to words of physical creation such as build and make, and in some cases may be understood as metaphorically based on such words. However, the Ideas in this frame are predominantly conceptual in nature.
Compare this frame with Achieving_first. In that frame, the fact that the idea is new to society is emphasized, whereas Coming_up_with refers to an agentive Cognizer using mental effort to figure something out, without any implication of the impact of the idea.
I|Cog 've been trying to come up with a plan .
