Comments on: HP: thanks for the memristors… http://socialmode.com/2008/05/02/hp-thanks-for-the-memristors/ Integrated Synthesis of Media, Society and Behavior Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:54:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: J Bryant http://socialmode.com/2008/05/02/hp-thanks-for-the-memristors/#comment-220 Sun, 04 May 2008 20:31:44 +0000 http://un1crom.wordpress.com/?p=112#comment-220 Actually, i was referring to the analogy between a technological process of ‘memristors’ and how we remember or how memory works in organisms.

Of course, there are other analogies:
1) that electronic process just discovered to memory
2) memory in an electronic byte to memory in a biological organism
3) biological memory to a dualistic term of a representation of something that happened in the environment going somewhere to ‘be’

Yes, if it is of value it will be a nice place to start for both the electronic ‘hole’ it could fill but also the conceptual ‘hole’ that could bring new technologies and for this person, a new and improved way to reference how information in organisms is processed. Memory research in general has been dead and dull due to a lack of a model that explains what how we relate things that aren’t there and how we use the information that no one can see.

Perhaps something stops being an analogy when it can communicate a bit of information beyond what the reference to another process did in the beginning. There are none that come to mind… our language morphs thru nuances and subtleties as we use it and that leads to additive changes faster than extinction of words or phrases… don’t you agree??!

If there’s a dream of building a computer based on this, that dream is still a long ways off. Programming this set up would be a beast…

we gotta start somewhere though.

when does something stop being an analogy and turn into a nice design blueprint?

What interests me just as much is your signoff “Just a thought.”

I represent author Susan Hanshaw and her upcoming book “Inner Architect: How To Build The Life You Were Designed To Live.”
The power of the mind, specifically our thoughts, are the building blocks of our desired reality:

Great information!
