I’m working on a modified object system for cards, using only objects and no people. I would like to combine three objects in a single location, but I’m having trouble remembering them (they are certainly more difficult to remember than a Person performing an Action on an Object). I’ve tried laying the objects side-by-side, or stacking them, but there seems to be a need for interaction (a link) between the three, not only to remember all three objects, but to also remember their order. When I apply action, the first two objects come out alright, but the third object often sticks out like a forgotten third wheel.
Give the objects human characteristics if necessary.
95 94 22 in my 2-digit system is apple, apricots, onion. Maybe the apple is jumping on top of a pile of apricots, and as the pile turns into jam, an exhausted, trapped onion crawls out of the mess.
94 22 95 might be apricots raining down on an onion with enough force to knock the layers off, and inside is an apple whose shiny wax coating deflects the violent apricots. Or the apple could be running while holding the onion above it to block the apricots.
My general rules for placement are:
top to bottom
left to rignt
outside to inside
performing an action upon: if the number is 2760, then 27 performs an action on 60 if possible
Some of these objects are people, some are things. I ‘see’ them arranged from left to right, or top to bottom, and interacting in various ways according to rules I made up as I went along, depending on which objects come together in what order.
I’m getting better. It’s just not natural for me. I took three objects out of my deck, wrote out all the possible combinations, then sat down and wrote out an image for each group. By the way, they are
123
132
213
231
312
321
It helped me better understand what I was up against.
My most memorable images tend to follow the same basic pattern…an Object uses another Object as a weapon and beats the third Object. A Mermaid takes a Saxophone and beats a Cigar Store Indian. But if I use that pattern too many times in the same deck, I end up questioning who was beating what with what? I need more variety in my story telling.
Ok, so my advice on this is that the action that takes place should be crazy. The crazier the better. Ok, so Paul McLeans triune model of the brain is outdated and bogus at this point. There’s more like 5-10 different layers associated with different “eras” of evolution. Regardless, it works well to associate the neurology with the method.
So, it goes like this: The portions of your brain associated with memorization primarily lie in the limbic system. According to Mc Lean this is your “Mammalian Brain.” (Yes, quite drunk right now.) It filters what it considers to be irrelevant. This makes raw memorization of ■■■■ like numbers and abstract concepts difficult. But you always remember things related to: Sex, Violence, Humor, Things out of the ordinary, Food. Etc. Think things related to survival and propagation.
So, to increase the variety of your actions consider bringing is such things. If it’s boring… it’s wrong. If you can get yourself to feel emotions, then it really will stick. My two cents.
And y’all should try playing with state dependent learning. If you drink when you learn something, then you have greater while ■■■■■■ up. Lol.
Well @Larry by combining two objects and then adding a third object in them,You can combine three objects,Below is a more precise example
For example- Imagine a plastic toy duck and then add a key in it(The one found in mechanical toy duck with a steel key which rotates when you move it) and then combine it with another object by changing its shape slightly either by removing a line or by slightly altering the shape of each object slightly to get an object which contains 3 objects),
Note-This was not my idea I had posted some of my ideas to an text generation ai by a website and I this idea along with many other ideas as a result,
