Hi Case 

I infer a negtive conotation to the term static, as compared to a positive one applied to dynamic??
But complexity can only be a function of static ordered things right? You cant say a dynamic mess is complex can you? 
If there are no inherent rules present in a chaotic system but you reverse engineer the whole thing and try and imprint sets of hyper complex rules on top of it, what have you achieved? 

Would it help to define "memory" as the whole thing - as a set of static patterns experienced? 
We cab relegate the static elements of it to being a constituent of the whole?

So we have complex 4d static "records", but "memory" is the act of experiencing them, which in itself constantly alters their nature??
