Are you basically saying the system consists of creating pegs in your memory stations in such way they serve as a peg for memorizing things instead of the memory station itself? I was doing it when I was on bed today. I find using the memory locations itself are boring, so I tried to create a template story putting pegs inside the memory locations.
Thanks @gavino for this! I started ârunning outâ of big memory palaces and memorizing new ones seemed complicated. This idea is perfect. I saw this method one month ago and I decided I would give it a try before replying any questions, and it is just perfect.

Lovely idea! I downsized it for fun, and found that it worked. I had a very simple store trip with 7 loci, and I added just 3 sceens from films (acctually books) to each locus. I got 21 loci in a no short time, and now I have something I donât mind trashing after one use.

Ok yeah, so, triggers. All youâre doing is taking a memory palace, and instead of using it by itself, youâre also using each locus as an entrance underground. If this were a dungeon in a videogame, each locus is a staircase that leads down to another sublevel, and each sublevel can be both be used as a memory palace as well as having each of its loci act as another path downward. Itâs simple, it never has to end as long as you have something to associate with any locus, its branches imitate the pattern of thought, and it allows a great way to connect all memory triggers and palaces- I like it.

Furthermore, if you wanted to, you could do something like have the first locus of each palace be a trigger back to the first level/origin palace, and thus youâd have an infinite memory loop and be able to think amongst your memory palaces even better.

Hi Yan!
I am still new to this whole thing and I found your idea to be really interesting, as it gets quite tiring for my mindâs eye to place too many objects in a short amount of time. Could you explain how you link more concepts to one image that you have?
Thanks a lot 
!
A suggestion, if youâre interested. New ones are really rather simple. Bare minimum, just grab a photo of the room or building or whatever in question, stare at it, decide what you want the loci to be, then just have the images you made out of whatever you need to memorize interact with the loci. Even more- Google Maps street view gives you the whole planet as your memory palace should you be so inclined.

The Questions here are
- Is there an optimal number of âzooming inâ new nodes per base node? Is it 2,3,4, +?
- Is there an optimal geometric placing and spatial context of new nodes (left+right, top+bottom, front+behind,near+far,corners+walls, corner-curve-hall or long-hall or vast-hall or tight enclave or spiral staircase or ladder or elevator or rollercoaster or open cloud space or moving platform,?)
The instructions say 4+ new nodes per base, although Iâm curious about 2 or 3 might be more effective, plus maybe you make one node near the base and the second node farther from the base.
