Engineering how to Memorize a 600 page book for realz

One technique I’m trying is converting all of the text in the book into binary.

Well, braille is binary and you can encode the entire alphabet this way…

Learn Braille In No Time Using Your Binary System

Here is A, B, and C in Braille: …and here the rest of the alphabet: https://www.louisbrailleonlineresource.org/braille.html# You can connect them to your existing binary system by placing the binary system’s object next to a picture …

Would also work for math or music…

Using Braille to Memorize Mathematical Formulas

Continuing the discussion from Learn Braille In No Time Using Your Binary System: There have been quite a few times that people here have asked for ways to memorize mathematical formulas and things of that nature. Just like in the post linked above, you can use braille for that as well. Quick recap: If you have a 00-99 image system, you can create a binary system, and that in turn let’s you encode braille cells. So all of this can be done using your existing system.

As far as…

a memory technique that beats the memory world champions.

I do use it for binary, but it’s not going to beat others systems only because I use a different grid…

What system do you use for memorizing binary numbers [POLL]

My binary grid is 2 wide and 3 high; similar to a braille cell. 11 10 00 …in braille this is the letter “F”. In competitions it’s my image for 31 putting one PAO (i.e., 2x3 = 6 wide) per location. That then is 5 loci per row. Has the advantage that PAO images don’t spill over into the next row as they would if you did 6 digits at a time (i.e., 3x6 = 18 binary digits per PAO). Also, it keeps the same way of reading when reading braille or encoding letters of unknown words or codes into braille…
