Memoriarch

The highest title in Memorianic religious hierarchy. Equivalent to similar titles of Pope, Patriarch or Archbishop. Derived from Memoria (Latin, memory) and arch (Latin root, chief, first, rule).

Memorianic Ritual: Lunch with Books

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

A few have probably noticed (following numerous Twitter updates) my preference for combining lunches with book and  magazine (a mini-book) reading (also combined with Mod N reading system). From now on this activity obtains the status of a ritual in Memorianity and depicted on this physicalist art picture (the choice of book titles is arbitrary and fully coincidental for this post):

James Cameron’s Avatar is A Memorianic Movie 0m1

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Just before The Year 7DA I watched Avatar 3D and close to the end, when seeing ancestral trees and memory downloads, I realized that indigenous population practiced a variant of Memorianity. So I decided to name the movie A Memorianic and give it a memory number 0m1 until I find a memorianic movie 0m2.

Panmemorism

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

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.

You can inspect its memory if you attach WinDbg to a running instance or from a complete memory or a user process dump (symbols are supplied):

Notes on Memoidealism (1.5)

Friday, September 18th, 2009

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”.

I don’t read mere books. I analyze memory dumps. Books are memory dumps. Memory dumps are books.

Exception Processing Of Crash Hypothesis (EPOCH)

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

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.

Music for Debugging: THE ALL MIGHTY DEBUGGER

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Just finished listening twice to Rick Wakeman performance at Lincoln Cathedral. To paraphrase his words, when I do memory dump analysis I experience the feeling of power surge through the fingers. Highly recommended to get the feeling of being the debugging god back during bitter moments of software support:

At Lincoln Cathedral

Buy from Amazon

Here is my version of track titles inspired by listening (with my comments in italics):

1. Process Mortality
2. Dance of the MIPS
3. Gifts from Help
4. THE ALL MIGHTY DEBUGGER
5. Problem solved
6. The DA TA Variations (remember DATA: Dump Analysis Trace Analysis)

Memory Analysis Ritual (Part 1)

Friday, July 10th, 2009

The common way to do memory analysis is through a powerful agency. Then certain sequences of actions become a common ritual practice. Here is my definition of ritual in this context based on Victor Turner’s cited in Religion: The Basics:

Formal actions that rely on beliefs in perceived powers.

Typical example from Windows crash dump analysis includes WinDbg as an agency and typing !analyze -v command.

Memory Dumps as Relics

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Some memory dumps can serve the role of a relic and be the subject of veneration. For example, a universal memory dump that reveals the eternity and infinity of Memory. Speaking about earthly artifacts, like computer memory dumps, some of them could be relics and subjects of personal veneration after being generated from a cult system or when a venerated person was working on a computer, for example, doing code construction or writing and composing great works of significant value.

Notes on Memoidealism (1.4)

Friday, May 1st, 2009

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.
