@ Matt Perhaps, but it could equally well relate to semantic memory as declarative, or priming as non declarative memory. Or, something else not yet known.
Do you realise that you've just destroyed the case for hypnotherapy? No cellular or subconscious memory = no therapeutic value. I think it best to view the human brain as a quantum system. Let's move up the order then, into possibility, shall we? It offers a more inclusive perspective. I am loathe to conclude anything at this stage, other than not being overly conclusive higher up the order.
