Our brain stores fragmented information which combines to make sense
When viewing a puzzle with a missing piece, the brain instantly fills the gap using context and prior knowledge. It stores fragmented data, then reconstructs meaning by recognizing patterns—showing how memory is predictive, not just reactive.
“A brain doesn’t store memories like files in a computer— it reconstructs them on demand with electricity and swirling chemicals. We call this process remembering but it’s actually assembling.”
Lisa Feldman Barrett
Professor of Psychology, Northeastern University

We store information in Dimentions
The brain stores information by strengthening connections between neurons. 2D information (key-value) is a simple association, like a face (key) and a name (value). 3D information (key-relation-value) adds context and complexity, like a person (key) and an event they attended (value) linked by the relationship "attended."

Forgetting and distortion are inherent to how our memory system works
Forgetting and distortion are not flaws but an inherent part of how memory works. Memory is not a perfect record; it's a reconstructive process, actively rebuilt each time it's recalled. This dynamic nature allows us to adapt and focus on relevant information, but it also makes memories susceptible to change and influence over time.
“"Memory consolidation is not an all-or-none process. It's a continuous, dynamic process." This statement underscores that memory is not instantly "saved" but is constantly being updated and changed, a process that can be disrupted or altered over time.”
