Hi Ron, Case

IMO the language available makes this very simple.

A memory is a static pattern of an experience.

Further smart alec remarks embedded...


Hi Jos,

I would have to disagree here I think memory is highly dynamic. It allows
for the structuring and restructuring of the past. It allows us to take
events that are not sequential in time and hold them side by side for
comparison. It allows us to take bits and pieces of the past and mold them
into models of the future.

Memory for me is higher dimensional representation, the fourth dimension
represented in 3D space. In short I do not see memory as static.

What word (other than experience) would you use to describe what occurs to a
rock when it encounters another rock.

[Case]
I prefer, value and think better of Whitehead's notion of events or
occasions to describe the "experiences" of inorganic beings. 

[Jos]
Well quite! but where "experience" is the same as "evaluation" - in
"terming" experience we are in fact trying to "term" DQ.

[Case]
I do not think that single celled organisms or inorganic beings can
"evaluate".
