In order to promote memory dump worldview and associated philosophy of memoidealism we have founded a society with a mission to teach memory dump analysis to everyone.

Memorianity provides a foundation for moral conduct, individual and social character development because it is based on a revelation that everything is saved. The theistic variation of this memory religion has also an organic and harmonious notion of Memory Deity. May you be memorized.

Where’s God in Memorianity (memory religion)? It borrows Samuel Alexander’s notion of the emergence of God as a new synthesis from patterns. In Alexander’s philosophy the basis of nature is space-time continuum with point-instants. In memoidealism (which is a metaphysical foundation of Memorianity) Memory is the basis of everything and in its memuonic formulation memuons play the role of memory-instants. Their patterns also involve emergents on every hierarchy level with Mind emerging at some memory organization level and then out of mind level we have emerging Deity.

Memorized states and events look different from varying memory perspectives, for example, some historical event looks different to and interpreted differently by people of varying memory backgrounds. Memuonic version of memoidealist philosophy explains differences in memory perspectives by different memorizing orderings of memuons respective to some base memuon.

There many interpretations of the letter M in M-theory but I propose another one: M stands for Memory. In any outcome it surely will be committed to memory in the future either as successful or not. On the other hand I’m now trying to make sense of it in relation to Memory as an ur-foundation (ur-, primordial, German prefix).

Just want to clarify the following branches of memoidealism (memory idealism) in addition to its common sense pragmatic panmemoric version:
Ontological memoidealism
The ultimate nature of reality is based on the memory
Epistemological memoidealism
The only things that can be directly known are memories
Another question often asked is why memory idealism and not memory realism. I have chosen the former because memory is often closely associated with the mind. In many cases you can just replace mind with memory, for example:
… science is in reality a classification and analysis of the contents of the memory;1)
We choose the most important property of the mind and computers: memory and try to ground and explain reality and mind in terms of that ontologically elevated property.

Memoidealism explains God as Inaccessible Memory (Memory Region A on the picture below). It means that Memory Region B doesn’t have pointers that point outside of it. In other words, all operating fields of Region B pointers are in Region B. However, Region A can have pointers pointing to Region B and modify it, effectively producing a miracle as perceived by Region B. In other words, some perception field links of Region B pointers may come from outside. You can object that Region B can have deeper pointers by making their memory locations bigger (from N-bit to 2*N-bit for example) but Memory may not be flat, discrete and bit-like. For one possible Christian interpretation we can replace Region B with the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1.1) and replace Region A with God-Creator (note also that in Memorianity Memory creates memories [notes on memoidealism 1.10]).

There is similarity between the tandem of Memoidealism / Memorianity and Mimāṃsā school of philosophy. The former is based on hermeneutics of memory snapshots and the latter is based on hermeneutics of sacred texts. People often ask is there any God in Memory Religion. The answer is both yes and no. Like in Mimāṃsā system the gods are names found in memory snapshots. In that sense Memorianity has some features of sacramental atheism. At the same time Memory is the creator of memories.

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.
