111201 - Follow up ref SDS 5 0000.
111202 -
111203 - Considered experience from visiting Disnyland, on power of poetry to
111204 - enhance human memory.

1115 - Background
1116 -
111601 - We visited Disnyland last month and attended a Western style singing
111602 - event. per ref SDS 5 0001.
111603 -
111604 - They did a routine that showed the value of poetry which supports the
111605 - "promise of POIMS" theme that human memory can be unlocked by pointers
111606 - using a combination of rhyme and meter, from analysis on 900507.
111607 - ref SDS 3 0620
111608 -
111609 - The singing group at one point sang a retrospective of music that was
111610 - popular during the 1960's.
111611 -
111612 -    [On 991108 poetry was a memory technology. ref SDS 9 2000]
111613 -
111614 - Their method was to sing a portion of the lyrics with the music, then
111615 - pause for the audience to sing the rest.  Everyone enjoyed this
111616 - exercise, and most everyone could sing these closing portions of one
111617 - or two lines of music from disparate songs.
111618 -

1119 - Analysis
1120 -
112001 - This shows the power of poetry using rhyme and meter to unlock what
112002 - has been stored in the mind, but is otherwise unavailable.  The mind
112003 - has made a series of deep connections that can be unlocked given the
112004 - right path or starting point to the path.   You have to start the mind
112005 - down a path, just one word is inadequate.  There has to be a
112006 - combination of stuff, concept, ryme, meter, to form part of a
112007 - recognizable pattern that the mind can fill in, per analysis from
112008 - Jeromy Campbell's book, ref SDS 2 6831, ref SDS 2 6006
112009 -
112010 -    [On 960322 correlation with Subject Indexing, ref SDS 6 3338.]
112011 -
112012 - On 900303 correlation to paradigms, common sense from review of Jeremy
112013 - Campbell's book. ref SDS 1 6831
112014 -
112015 -    [On 960325 Landauer's paper on LSA explains induction that supports
112016 -    pattern matching. ref SDS 7 1100]
112017 -
112018 - The mind stores "stories" which are chunks of related information that
112019 - impact the saftey and satisfaction of the organism, again from
112020 - Campbell's book. ref SDS 1 3016  Rhyme and meter help unlock as well
112021 - as maintain the strength of the storage.
112022 -
112023 -    [On 991108 alphabet emerged to improve poetry as a memory aid.
112024 -    ref SDS 9 5628]
112025 -
112026 - On 960620 developed idea of legal briefs and case law are a special
112027 - kind of "story," ref SDS 8 1485, that comprise an effective.
112028 - "knowledge space," ref SDS 8 3516, to maintain alignment of community
112029 - with values and goals in laws and regulations.
