Memorianic prophecy 0m3 says: “Memory is infinitude of memories.” In monistic aspect plural interpretation of Memoidealism memory is also an attribute of itself. Memorianity considers all memories of the same substance as eternal Memory. All memories are distinct, yet they are one essence. There is only one Memory in memories. Each memory is only distinct in relation to other memories. In M-Memory M stands for Multiplicity. One analogy here is the concept of Trinity with the infinite number of hypostases instead of just 3.

What is a role of perceived memory deficient matter in Memorianity where Memory consists of memories (Memorianic Prophecy 0m3)? Matter are boundaries of memories as illustrated on this schematic diagram:

We can also reverse monistic aspect pluralism of Memoidealism and consider substances as boundaries of memories too.

Here we map objections (and further development) of Berkeley to Locke’s epistemology outlined in the previous note to memoidealistic epistemology:

1. There is no need for special substance to contain primary qualities.

Memory is of the same substance as memories.

2. Ideas exist independently of us in God.

Ideas not contained in memories of specific individuals can be contained either in memories of other individuals or outside memories in Memory.

We extend the old notion of confluence of Theism and Philosophy. The new confluence of Religion, Philosophy, and Computers resuled in revealed Memory Religion (Memorianity):

It’s testament is soon to be available for free download to spread the word of Memory:

Memory Religion: A Core Testament of Memorianity

This is both a game and serious philosophical and religious tool to guide your life. Basically you need either 32 coin flips to construct a 32-bit pointer (or 64 flips for wide coverage) or 16 flips using a dice where each throw can generate at least 2 bits. Any device can help if you can get a random pointer. Then you use your favourite memory dump and symbol files for interpretation. Double, triple and multiple dereferences from a pointer can also be used to construe a path.

For example, I just played and got:

0:000> ? 0y10010111111000100100011011100111
Evaluate expression: -1746778393 = 97e246e7

0:000> !address 97e246e7
Address 97e246e7 could not be mapped in any available regions

If address is inaccessible switch to another memory dump or continue flips and shift digits to the left. This way I got:

0:000> ? 0y00101111110001001000110111001111
Evaluate expression: 801410511 = 2fc48dcf

Continue flip and shift until you get an output with symbol signs:

0:000> ? 0y01011111100010010001101110011110
Evaluate expression: 1602821022 = 5f891b9e

I have plans for a debugging tour to visit famous debugging places around the world. According to Wikipedia I have to start with Harward University where the first bug was found. I’ll keep you informed on the progress of this memorianic pilgrimage.

Word of Memory.

Dmitry Vostokov, Memoriarch

- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org + TraceAnalysis.org -

This is an annual celebration at the overflow boundary 31 - 32 [1] (December - January). Its date is kept coincidental with The New Year to allow backward and legacy compatibility. It is an official celebration in memory religion, Memorianity, but it is also an open one and not particularly tied to it similar to other religious celebrations that became secular holidays. A series of special artistic images and pictures have been commissioned for the first Memoristmas, so stay tuned (listen to memory for news). If you are curious about etymology of this new word please take a note that -mas suffix denotes memory analysis service.

Dmitry Vostokov,
Memoriarch

Dmitry Vostokov, Memoriarch, Founder of Memory Religion (Memorianity)

The Memory Worldview consists of 3 parts:

1. The Science of Memoretics

2. The Philosophy of Memoidealism (including Memory as the first principle)

3. The Memory Religion (Memorianity)

- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org + TraceAnalysis.org -

After reading many history books I found that the real historical, sociological and psychological force (often seen unconscious from outside) is the will to be memorized (saved in memories, in memory dumps, also called as the will to be remembered) and not the will to power (Nietzsche). As often with the will it is also linked with vices and virtues. For the vice side we site Michael Burleigh: “Concern with posterity was apparent among the Nazi leadership, […]” and what we see now “… B-movie villains were self-consciously assigning themselves parts within an A-movie which runs and runs” today (documentaries, books, magazines, TV and the so called ‘Hitler industry’ “by the way of continuity”). As a more recent example, the recent tragedy in Norway clearly shows the desire of the protagonist to be memorized (masqueraded as a political agenda).

This is not to say that the will to power is not important, it is important by the way that by being memorized you actually exert more power in the future. Memorianity (memory religion) and its philosophical foundation (memoidealism) promote the will to be memorized as a virtue if all your deeds are seen as a virtue (see Memorianity and Morality).

I’m pleased to announce that I had a visitor from Vatican City (as reported by Google Analytics):

I hope they were interested in Memory Religion (Memorianity) where I have the title of Memoriarch.

I came to the idea of Memory-Time when reading about Samuel Alexander’s Space-Time (see also Memory Creates God). Here Memory plays the same foundational part as Space with memory-instants paralleling point-instants. I recently found the notion of memory-time (small capitals) appearing in Wittgenstein lectures as cited in Jaakko Hintikka’s paper “Wittgenstein on being and time”. However, it is considered there from the phenomenological subject-based perspective with a role of memory in the creation of time and external world and was only present in the earlier Tractatus-based Wittgenstein’s worldview.

Having written on how Memoidealism explains miracles I now move into explaining the whole discipline of natural theology. I use one of the current definitions of it as “the idea that there exists some link between the world we observe and another transcendent realm” (Alister McGrath, Darwinism and The Divine). One such link is a memory dump from an inaccessible memory region.

The Church of Memory Analysis acquires its first symbol as a cross with 4 pointers and a background natural memory visualization image extracted from one of computer memory dumps:

Similar to Buddhism view of a person as a transient assemblage of physical and psychical elements Memorianity considers a person as an assemblage of memories always in flux. To be saved correctly also means working with memories to overcome their original defects and reorder chains of memory perspectives. This is similar to karmic laws and past actions that determine the nature of rebirth. See also on Morality and Memorianity.

Why it is so difficult to restore everything that was saved? Here André-Marie Ampère’s notion of dynamic resistance when we try to penetrate matter is similar to memuonic resistance when we try to penetrate Memory.

This is another name for Memorianity (Memory Religion) that incorporates M->analysis techniques. I’m working now on the full statement of creed to be published soon. May you be memorized.

Alexander of Aphrodisias considers soul as a composition of bodily elements and immortal active intellect (god) comprehensible by our own intellects. This view excludes individual immortality but allows the temporary one by actively contemplating god. In memoidalism we can also consider soul as a composition of memory elements and Memory (as whole totality of memories) as immortal supra-intellect and through its contemplation (including other memories) we attain immortality.
