Creating a Memory Framework

 The goal of a memory framework is to define a standard methodology of converting information into pictures, movements, or sounds

Use existing pathways to encode memories into deliberate images. First image that comes to mind is usually the best translation to use.

This is then combined with a memory palace to leverage locational memory to generate additional pictures which can all be used as reference

          • rectangle, round, oval, heart
        • the contour of the lips, ears, and chin. 
    • Pay attention to their name when they tell it to you, convert the name into the first picture that comes to mind
    • Put their unique feature on the picture
    • Place the picture in the memory palace location associated with that person
    • Example - Met Jameel Ali at the gym, Tall, buff, indian, bald
      • Big egg full of curry jam (jam meal) at the side of the gym (alley)
      • Put his face on the egg
  • Memory Palace - Familiar places with points of interest that can be used as containers, or encoded into images. Corners, walls and furniture in consecutive order from entry are used as anchors. Can be used as macrocontainers to group people as well.
