+\subsection{$\Phi$-Memories}
I will conclude these studies with two complex constructions.
-Definition. A "&-Memory" is a memory which includes an M*-Memory
-and a D-Memory, with the following conditions. 1. The goal G, for the
-M*-Memory, is to move from one point to another. 2. For the D-Memory,
-
-
-"event," becomes a numerical term, the decrease in the organism's distance
-
-from the destination point during the temporal interval. "A 3-inch move
-
-
-toward the destination" is the sort of thing that 'event;' here refers to. 3.
+\definition A "$\Phi$-Memory" is a memory which includes an M*-Memory
+and a D-Memory, with the following conditions.
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The goal G, for the M*-Memory, is to move from one point to another.
+\item For the D-Memory, "$event_j$" becomes a numerical term, the decrease in the organism's distance
+from the destination point during the temporal interval. \said{A 3-inch move
+toward the destination} is the sort of thing that "$event_j$' here refers to.
-The number of Aa, equals the number of D-sentences factorial. The number
+\item The number of $A_{a_i}$ equals the number of D-sentences factorial. The number
of D-sentences, of course, increases.
+\end{enumerate}
Consider the consecutive thinking of each D-sentence precisely once, in
minimum time, while the number of sentences remains constant. Such a
-"D-paragraph" is a permutation of the D-sentences. Let H™ be a
-D-paragraph when the number of sentances equals the integer m. There are
-m! SA" s. When f(t) = m = 3, one of the sixH" sis sais\}, thought in
-minimum time. Assume that the duration A of a D-paragraph depends only
-on the number of D-sentences and the bi. We can write
+"D-paragraph" is a permutation of the D-sentences. Let $\mathparagraph^m$ be a
+D-paragraph when the number of sentences equals the integer m. There are
+$m!$ $\mathparagraph^m$s. When $f(t)=m=3$, one of the six $\mathparagraph^3$s is $S^D_3 S^D_1 S^D_2$,
+thought in
+minimum time. Assume that the duration $\triangle$ of a D-paragraph depends only
+on the number of D-sentences and the $\delta_j$. We can write
+$$ \triangle(\mathparagraph^m)=\sum_{j=1)^{m} \delta_j $$
The permutations of the D-sentences, as well as the D-paragraphs, can be
-indexed with the a;, just as the possible methods are.

+is the $a_j$th M*-assertion. \said{I have actually been doing $A_{a_i}$} is merely an English

+\conclusion{7} Given a $\Phi*$-Memory, if one D-sentence is forgotten, not
only will there be a gap in the awareness of when what events occurred; it
will be forgotten which method has actually been used.
This conclusion points toward a study in which deformations of the
memory language are related to deformations of general consciousness.
-Definition. A "*-Reflection," or reflection in the present of a
-@*-Memory, is a collection of assertions about the future, derived from a
-
-
-&*-Memory, as follows. 1. There are the sentences 'Event; will occur in the

-AF, minus Xj AF; and which is y; long and begins zj from now'. If event; was
-a 3-inch move toward the destination in the ®*-Memory, the sentence in the
-®*-Reflection says that a 3-inch move will be made in the future temporal
-interval. 2. The ajth permutation of the sentences defined in (1) is an

+\definition A "$\Phi*$-Reflection," or reflection in the present of a

+$\Phi*$-Memory, as follows.
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item There are the sentences "$Event_j$ will occur in the
+interval of time which is $x_j-x_{j-1}$ long, and begins at twice the present time

+assertion which has the meaning of \said{I will do $A_{a_i}$}; and the organism can

+\conclusion{8} Given that the $\Phi*$-Memory's temporal intervals $|x_{j-1}, x_j|$
+are reflected as $|2N-x_j, 2N-x_{j-1}|$, the reflection preserves the intervals'

-Conclusion 8. Given that the @*-Memory's temporal! intervals x54, xj!
-are reflected as I2N-x;, 2N-x; 41, the reflection preserves the intervals'
-absolute distances from the present. Proof: The least distance of X74, xj
-from N is N-x;; the greatest distance is N-Xi 4. Adding the least distance, and
-then the greatest distance, to N, gives I2N-x;, 2N-xj 41.
+\proof: The least distance of $|x_{j-1}, x_j|$
+from $N$ is $N-x_j$; the greatest distance is $N-x_{j-1}$. Adding the least distance, and
+then the greatest distance, to $N$, gives $|2N-x_j, 2N-x_{j-1}|$.

will every assertion be prescience or foreknowledge? By a "precognition" I

mean a direct "memory" of the future unconnected with general principles.
