Now we get to the common idea of what memory is, something that can be remembered. What does this mean? Remember the "Balance" section; about local balance depending on global balance. Does a tree have consciousness? Yes. What is "adaptation"? Our "Decisions" are global (our current "world-view" perspective of "self" being the current highest level) results of the many local decisions/results that make "us" up. Remember back to the "Memory" section; about being "locked" to a certain degree into a path (made up of smaller paths, part of bigger paths). Decisions are made based upon the varying paths "we" are locked into. Once a decision is made (on any level) the spiral path becomes more stable, more structured. The next time a decision is to be made by way of that same spiral, it is now more likely that the previous decision will repeat.
The more complex the global environment is, the more complex the local environments are. The more complexity needed, the more decisions needed. The more decisions made, the more structured the pathways for decision making. Enter; "Math".
"Math" is: more and more complex, preset decision making pathways that our environment (everything on this level of existence) follows more and more, and that "we" follow more and more (not to say that these are separate, for "we" are just a decision our environment made). Stemming from math, we have "belief".
Who you are is the decisions made by you, and your beliefs. You are a multi-layered spiral within spirals, and at every moment spirals stop spinning and new one start. The global spiral which is you is dependent upon all of the spirals which make you up, and the spirals of which you are a part. This is how you grow, and how you die. Imposing the global pathways of your system is a part of maintaining your system. Imposing beliefs follows suit.
