Archaeological Foundations for Memory Analysis
I’ve decided to adapt archaeological classificatory framework (using my favourite method of inquiry: metaphorical bijectionism) to lay out foundations for yet another attempt to classify DA+TA patterns):
Attribute ↔ Pattern 2
Artefact ↔ Component Artefact1
Assemblage ↔ Component Assemblage
Culture ↔ Memory System Culture
1 Can be either a component-generated artefact or a component like a module or symbol file
2 Typical examples of memory system cultures are Windows, UNIX or even “Multiplatform”
I propose a word Memoarchaeological for such a framework and Memoarchaeology for a branch of Memoretics that studies saved computer memory artifacts from past computations (as opposed to live memory).
Note: In one of the forthcoming issues of Debugged! MZ/PE magazine there will be presented yet another classificatory scheme.
