This paper shows a formal treatment of the analogy process based on Husserl’s Wholes and Parts Theory. The concept of foundation is considered as this theory’s core. In particular, the notions of mediated foundation, (in) dependency, and supplement account for the mediated nature of the analogy, as well as for its structure. From the formalization of this theory, it is possible as it is shown in this paper to make an account of the analogy process to put forward some guidelines for computational simulation of analogy
