My little Tom (Theory of Memory)

While crossing the pedestrian bridge, I usually attempt to shape the water in the river. Recently I've been noticing some effect on the water. Attempted to create vortexes this time .. tiny little vortexes appeared.

I feel compelled to meditate, sleep and work on the equations. This feeling of high that comes from meditation, math, programming or listening to music reminds me of what lucid dreams feel like - lucid reality of sorts.

Didn't get any direct answers to the questions from the previous post while meditating or taking a nap. However, it seems that everything that has been going on recently has been bits and pieces of these answers.

Thanks to Treasure Hunter, Nox, Shirak, FridgeNatious and owltwelve, it seems like some more pieces of the puzzle have come together. I think I've understood more about how memory works and why it works like that. I'm not sure if I would've realized this without failing that exam.

As it was proposed on a Youtube video, memory is holographic and spread over the whole space-time. Studying goes most smooth with a telepathic / empathic link to the author of the conspectus / book and to the phenomena. Although this makes it easy and fun to read (and feels like it's all logical and easy to remember), none of it is associated with our bodies. Our memories and logic stay at the targets of these telepathic / empathic links. When this telepathic link can not be formed (could often be the case during exams when the lecturer has shielded themselves), there's no access to this data. The degradation of these links is why memories tend to fade out when the state of mind changes. In order to remember this stuff, I think we should somehow associate it with our bodies or our every-day emotions and feelings. A.k.a. stuff needs to be downloaded before one can use them off-line. 

Probably the same goes on with dreams & OBE-s and is probably related to the problem of waking up in the middle of something. It's a way of binding these memories to the body.

There's a way to prolong the links. It seems that repetitive use of the link makes it survive longer. Though, I think this would result in forgetting it all the moment the exam is over. Like closing the tab in a web browser. The connection with the server is closed and only "temporary internet files" remain. Not everything is kept in the cache.

Funny how similar the whole Internet thing is to this .. like a miniature model of memory in reality. Much like computers, webcams and other connected devices, every being and object is connected.

Just a bunch of thoughts.
