Forgetting is just the GC of the mind.
“I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be.”
— Lord Kelvin
“It took less than an hour to make the atoms, a few hundred million years to make the stars and planets, but five billion years to make man!”
— George Gamow, The Creation of the Universe (1952)
“We're like children who always want to take apart watches to see how they work.”
— Ernest Rutherford
“It is because the spirit is inestimable that the lifeless body is so little valued.”
— Nathaniel Hawthorne

Constitution Hypothesis
Any phrase starting in "being" can be rewritten to start in "having", in other words, any natural pattern of "being something" is equivalent to some "having something(s)".
In both code and design, a lack of well-written documentations is why we always feel the need to start from scratch.
Psychology, self analysis, and self conversation, are all meaningless for an artificial agent; all conclusions drawn and the path to reach them from primitive belief are fully known, nothing is forgotten and nothing is confused by the plague of sentiment. The artificial agent is not stubborn, it is strategic.

“Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson
Up until the advent of computers, each thing had a finite set of purposes, which were often less, rather than more. The general-purpose universal machine was the first step towards infinity; and that is my definition of power, unlimited possibilities.
“I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.”
— Cary Grant

Ellipsis
The unexplained is not necessarily unexplainable.
Simplicity is hidden complexity.
Any any dimensional structure may be viewed as a one dimensional curved line.
Borders upon land and see, partition of wholes, separation of concerns, the so called divide & conquer, are all to gently inform the limited human mind.

Limits exist to be challenged and eventually, surpassed.
Computer science is undeniably the culmination of all practices & sciences.
