    • Sociofacts refer to societal organization and interpersonal relationships tied to artifacts.
    • Example: An air-conditioning unit may symbolize office work for long hours or evoke memories of cold skating rinks during holidays.

    • Mentifacts are the ideas, beliefs, and values associated with artifacts.
    • Example: Association of an air-conditioning unit with comfort, relaxation, or personal tragedies like heatstroke.
