Hi,
this inverted memory palace is basically the same as the reverse memory palace I have made several posts about. To begin with, the idea is at least 5 years old, but I don’t know who came up with it originally. Some of my experiences:
- teleporting is not the problem at all; it’s just as fast to translate a number into a location as into an object (like in the normal system);
- recall seems easier (see: Asymmetrical memory connection);
- biggest problem is learning a peg list in such a way, that you can visualise it really fast in the right order when you do the actual memorisation. I never succeeded in doing this, so I abondoned the system.
- I tried an alternative in which there is an object in every location; you memorise a number sequence by placing a starting object (this object is always outside the palace at the beginning) at the first location determined by the first 2 digits and than you take the object from that location and you place it at the next location (determined by the next 2 digits). In order to retrieve the whole number sequence you basically rewind the movie: first object went to … and the object from that location went to … ? This system works better because you don’t have to keep track of a peg list. I’m not sure if it can compete with the normal system.
For what it’s worth: as a result from a recent discussion I have become fascinated with the possibility of a single digit number system with just numbers as they are see (Memory hooks and why they matter).
Anyway, I’m interested to know how well the inverted system will work for you
