CONSCIOUS INTENTIONS AND WHAT MEMORY IS FOR

A mixed and meshed set of patterns corresponds to a conceptualization. Updating memory occurs whenever the meshed patterns change because we navigate to a different environment. The updating is a trajectory, or a phase transition toward a new set of meshed patterns. Thus, memory records how conceptualizations reduce and blend into one another.

This memory works in two broad modes. First, patterns of action based on the environment properties are automatically, that is, without intention, meshed with patterns based on previous P-conscious experience. This automatic use of memory corresponds closely to the non-conscious use of memory. Second, patterns from the environment can be suppressed so that conceptualization is guided by previous P-conscious experience encoded as trajectories. This is a conscious and effortful use of memory. The ability to suppress environmental patterns contributes to prediction, the P-conscious experience of remembering, and language comprehension.
