. . . can't remember the source of what i'm about to write . . .
. . . when we remember it comes out slightly different each time . . . modern theories of memory revlove around the idea of fragmentation . . . different elements are, apparently, stored in different areas of the brain and it is not so much the cells that are important in the act of memory, but the connections between the cells, the synapses, the synaptic connections . . . these connections are constantly being made and remade (being fabricated as i write) . . . the process is called sprouting.
so what i'm getting at is that re-membering is essentially not an act of retrieval but a creative thing, it happens in the moment, it's an act . . . of imagination . . . [like an act of theatre in the moment]
