Memory is a special type of [[System|System]] that describes a chain of discrete [[Event|Events]] which continuously translate [[Information]] through time ([[Translation|Translation Costs]] occur). It is not a passive state, but an active process. From this follows the [[Inherent Principles of Continued Existence|Inherent Principle]]: A system at each moment is a [[Translation]] of its previous self. Identity is continuity, not sameness. --- ## RRT Formalization **Logic:** [[Memory]] is the persistence of a resolution pattern across multiple $\tau$ intervals. **Constraint:** [[Memory]] is an active [[Translation]] process. Its cost is included in the [[System]]'s $\Phi_{\min}$. ___ ## In the Equation **"The Persistence"** [[Memory]] is the active maintenance of a specific [[Information|resolution]] ($\sigma$) across a sequence of refresh intervals ($\tau$). Its cost is part of the continuous [[Energy Floor]]. ___ ## Examples: Lorem Ipsum ### Smallest Unit - ### Largest Unit - ### Biology - #### Sensing - ### Social concept / structure - History - ### Technology -
