See the post I just sent to Matt Mahoney. You have a much greater access to your own memory than just high level episodic memory. Although your memories of such experience are more limited than their actual experience, you can remember qualities about them, that include their sense of richness, simultaneity, and meaning.

You are describing episodic memory, the ability to recall a sequence of events. These events include recalling other events; we are aware of our own thoughts. Reading from the higher levels of the brain also writes into it. That's easy enough to implement, for example, a database that logs transactions. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
