Pattern illustration only. Every cell is assumed independently writable and perfectly distinguishable. Noise, errors, control and redundancy can reduce achievable reliable storage.
Form & resonanceFractals, cymatics & sacred geometry
Pattern and resonance offer rich forms for contemplative inquiry. A storage claim additionally needs stable, distinguishable states and a way to write and read them. Self-similarity alone supplies no total capacity.
Time & the frameworkWhat about curled-up time?
MultidimensionalCUT is an integrative framework for this inquiry. Schooler and Riddle’s objective, subjective and alternative time proposal supplies no verified mapping from those axes to independent memory cells. Time cycles therefore add no automatic bits to this calculator.
