  The `mechanization' is a procedure of replacing a scalar field in 1+1
dimensions with a piece-wise linear function, i.e. a finite graph consisting of
$N$ joints (vertices) and straight segments (edges). As a result, the field
theory is approximated by a sequence of algebraically tractable,
general-purpose collective coordinate mechanical models. We observe the
step-by-step emergence of dynamical objects and associated phenomena as the $N$
increases. Mech-kinks and mech-oscillons -- mechanical analogs of kinks and
oscillons (bions) -- appear in the simplest models, while more intricate
dynamical patterns, such as bouncing phenomenon and bion pair-production,
emerge gradually as decay states of high $N$ mech-oscillons.
