Back to the past....riffing on THE PRESERVED

[Michael Bailey]

a) Non-rigorous Theory of Memory, Version 1
I think they are stored on a "server" and the brain is more of a "thin
client".  Brain damage could certainly
disappear some memories - ie, the ports or sessions dedicated to those
memories have been terminated -
and so can problems upstream such as loss of connectivity to the server...

b) Non-rigorous Theory of Memory, Version 2
I think that when you remember, you connect via subtle means through
the luminiferous ether
of Space-time back to the actual event you are remembering

c) or there's the Bob Dylan storage schema:
"Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood, with his memories in a trunk..."
