Awesome! Would you mind sharing some resources for learning about this device whenever you’re free? It looks fun

I’m a big fan of grid systems, My grids used to look a bit like yours, though i’ve streamlined things as my memory palace has grown. I’ll do a write-up of my system later this summer. I use a modified version of Hugh of St-Victor’s grid.

I started printing grid sheets to save time. Bullet journals and grid paper also work wonders for this sort of thing.

From what I’ve understood from your previous posts, it seems like you’re using your grid system for verbatim memory recall, where each box “holds” a word (or a letter) from the text book your memorizing, and that information is then encoded using a mnemonic image. Ambitious!

Good luck in your memory journey and thanks for sharing.

Yes exactly. I’ll get the rest of my notes and post. And yes it’s an attempt at a method that allows one to become a walking encyclopaedia

Yeah I will I’m just in Glenn Innes at the moment but when I get home tomorrow I’ll explain how to use it. Please send some feedback when you use it so I can learn more about it. It’s a memory craft technique that almost automatically stores hundreds if not millions of pages in a book into memory with 100% recall.

You will need to know how to count from 1 to 9999999999 on this numbers grid to successfully operate the memory device

@smith.francis, you’ve got a matrix with digits in it. What makes your “memory device” so special?

It allows you to recall word for word with 100% recall

Show me.

I’ve given pretty much enough information read the posts I’ve put up and have a close up look at the images

I don’t think so. Show me. Do this and post your results. I expect great things from you!

Not budging. Sorry.

My method is foolproof unlike yours

I see some letters A, C, etc, but I don’t see how it relates to the numbers, could you explain it please? Your technique seems really interesting

Notice the similarities of both images and how they relate. And did you complete the first task of counting from 1 to 9999999999 on the number grid?

That’s how you fish out the text on the first image

Try to figure out what it says

Although try counting from 1 to 30 on the letters grid and read what it says
