What is that mysterious memory “particle” memuon? According to memoidealism our Universe has Memory (*) and therefore, its memory has to be composed from memory entities. These entities are called memuons and they can be represented as numbers (some extreme interpretation can be that memuons are numbers, similar to metaphysics of Pythagoreanism). There can be “heavy” memuons (for example, represented by a number that is a 64 TB memory dump; for dumps as numbers see the discussion about memorillions) and the “light” ones (for example, represented by a byte value numbers). There are no 2 distinct memuons with the same number representation. There is infinite amount of memuons and all of them can be put into a “Memorized” relation and ordering, for example:
M1 Σ M2 Σ M3 Σ …
where the state of M1 can be memorized by M2, the state of M2 can be memorized by M3 and so on (**). Only memuon states can be memorized in other memuons. Memorization is not an inclusion, containment or aggregation. But any given memuon can be memorized many times and their memorized states will be identical when represented by numbers. For any given memuon the number of states of other memuons it can memorize is bounded. This is consistent with computer memory and its saving semantics, for example, we can save 8 bytes in a qword.
(*) Strong Memoidealism postulates that our Universe is Memory, the so called Memory Universe Hypothesis (MUH); see also EPOC hypothesis for Multiverse.
(**) Σ is 90° counterclockwise letter M.

Memoidealism (or alternatively Panmemorism, not the same as Panpsychism) now acquires a definition motivated by the functional definition of panpsychism in David Skrbina’s book Panpsychism in the West
Memoidealism
All entities, e.g. objects, components, subsystems and systems of objects and components, possess a memory for themselves.

“Memory dumps are facts.”
I’m very excited to announce that Volume 3 is available in paperback, hardcover and digital editions:
Memory Dump Analysis Anthology, Volume 3
In two weeks paperback edition should also appear on Amazon and other bookstores. Amazon hardcover edition is planned to be available in January 2010.
The amount of information was so voluminous that I had to split the originally planned volume into two. Volume 4 should appear by the middle of February together with Color Supplement for Volumes 1-4.

Some parallels can be seen between the MAP feature of memoidealistic philosophy and ātman in Hindu philosophy situating both inside an individual and Universe.

This is another description of a memoidealistic philosophical worldview that memory exists in everything, living and nonliving. In its even stronger form, panmemorism is also a theory that memory is a part of itself, thus adding an infinite element (see Memoidealism as Monistic Aspect Pluralism for some illustrations) and providing a foundation for perceived processes.
- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org -
Some differences with Anaxagoras philosophy where Mind is a partial substance to distinguish animate and inanimate and is a source of Motion. In memoidealism Memory is a substance that is always present in things including itself and is a source of Process.

Although everything changes in the philosophy of Heraclitus, its Urstoff, fire, is eternal, indestructable. The same can be said about Memory and its memory fragments. Memoidealism has also some proximity with the notion of everlasting existence of thought of or spoken named objects in the philosophy of Parmenides. Once we think of or speak of something we immediately recall a memory fragment from and, at the same time, commit it to Memory again, perhaps as a different memory fragment, an assembled new memory trace.

The notion of transmigration of memories in Memoidealism has its similarity with Orphicism. The notions of limited (memories) and unlimited memory (Memory), and “things are memories” similar to Pythagoreanism view on Limited and Unlimited, and “things are numbers”.

Consider this example mapping (taken metaphorically from the mathematical notion of an injection) of one domain of knowledge to another:
This mapping between concepts and ideas was once called “bijectivism” but was trivially described either as one to one mapping between two domains (like physical vs. mathematical) or fusing different concepts together to get another emerging concept. I myself proposed the similar mapping and called it a metaphorical bijection.
Now consider another mapping metaphorically equivalent to a mathematical notion of a surjection where all constituents of the second domain are covered metaphorically by the first domain:
What we strive for is to establish the complete bijective mapping and reorganize our knowledge of both domains to achieve that:
In diagrams above small boxes can represent sets of ideas, methods, etc. or individual ideas, methods, etc. The established metaphorical bijection can divide sets or combine them if needed. There can be several such bijections, of course, and we can use other methods of inquiry (for example, the scientific method) to choose between competing metaphorical bijections.
Useful mnemonic:
BEIS (B=I+S or to BE IS …)
Bijectionism Equals Injection + Surjection
Another mnemonic:
BET (B=T or to BE Transformation…)
Bijectionism Equals Transformation
Note also the second letter of Alef-Beis or Alef-Bet, the letter of Light that has interpretation of Creation in Biblical Hebrew.
More on this later as I need to come back to DebugWare patterns.

Our Universe is Unhandled Exception Processing saving one huge Memory Dump from a runaway HUC (Big Bang of Hyper-Universal Computation, or simply HUge Computation). The idea came to me some months ago but I decided to publish it after learning today about a “Mathematical Universe Hypothesis” (MUH) from Max Tegmark stating that our Universe is Mathematics.

If memory is the basis of everything we might think that memoidealism is a kind of dual aspect monism or plural aspect monism, where mind, body and perhaps many other aspects are manifestations of one single memory substance. Or perhaps, memory is the same as matter or the realm of ideas (materialism or some sort of idealism), and memoidealism is the kind of monism. Or memory is the same or not the same as mind or matter and can be associated with one side of dualism. Not at all, memory is the aspect or attribute of mind, body and other substances, possibly itself. This can be illustrated on the following picture:
If there are only 2 substances then we have monistic aspect dualism as an extension of monism, for example, the extension of idealism:
or the extension of materialism (memuonic theory, memuonics):
Therefore, Memory is a substance and an aspect (attribute) at the same time. This is the essence of MAP (Monistic Aspect Pluralism).

Urstoff of Anaximenes is Air much like Memory in memoidealism. How do concrete objects develop from invisible Air? Through the process of condensation and rarefaction, quality arises from quantity (reduction process). Eternity of Urstoff is one of the main features of Milesian philosophers and memory religion. No additional worlds are possible in their philosophies. They are “materialists” because of their material Urstoff. Memoidealists are “idealists” because of their ideal notion of Memory.
