How are memories kept in a linear order?How are they kept in a chronological order?
How are memories kept in the first place? How many neurons do you need to form the traumatic experience of your uncle touching you inappropriately?

>>16808795Nothing inappropriate about it.
>>16808785You're pretty much always using your memory so every new memory includes a bunch of old memories as metadata. This only fails if you try to recall any particular sequence of sex positions you fucked in at some arbitrary point in the past.

witness my asspull analysis based off my own life experience:>there's a "fresh" compartment, most recent and relatively recent memories go here>there's an impactful memories, most impactful memories go there regardless of time>>16808801pic related
>>16808812That's why they're timestamped.
>>16808785Memory isn't very much different from imagination. Construct some arbitrary sequence of mundane events in your head right now. Now imagine arbitrarily swapping the order of two events in that sequence. Does a contradiction arise when you do so? If it did, your brain will "fix" your made up story so it makes sense. Otherwise the order of those events didn't matter anyway and you will never truly know which was "correct" so you'll default to first impression.
>>16808801>>16808821That would require the brain to know what hours, months, years etc are at the kernel level
>>16808785Memory isn't kept in the brain. It is transmitted to the brain just like conshceiousnesc.
>>16808853The brain has a clock-cycle counter, Sillyhead.
>>16808873Then feel free to transmit your memories and consciousness directly to me instead of just typing out a bunch of poorly organized semantics on an internet forum.
>>16808835This is the correct answer. Case in point, witness accounts: people make shit up more often than not.
