Reminiscence on a memory dump as an integer:

“The trouble with” memory dumps “is that we have examined only the very small ones. Maybe all the exciting stuff happens at really big” memory dumps, “ones we can’t even begin to think about in any very definite way. So maybe all the action is really inaccessible and we’re just fiddling around. Our brains have evolved to get us out of the rain, find where the berries are, and keep us from getting killed. Our brains did not evolve to help us grasp really large” memory dumps “or to look at things in a hundred thousand” memory locations.

Ronald Lewis Graham, quoted in “Computers, Pattern, Chaos and Beauty” by Clifford A. Pickover
