Time/space and memory

[anagogy]

From my perspective, memories are just associative patterns of consciousness. They aren't stored "anywhere". They're nonlocal. Though, to be fair, the associative pathways can be altered by a change to a physical system because when you are looking at a physical system, you are really looking at consciousness translated tangibly, so as long as you are looking through that framework the tangible form is the "bio-logic" that the consciousness is following. So in some sense you can say memories ARE stored in the physical material of the body, and in an other sense, they extend beyond its "tangible parameters". All material contains these associative schema we call memory. Even rocks.

There was an interesting experiment performed where they taught mice to run a maze, and then progressively removed different parts of their brains. They were unable to remove the memory of how to run the maze (though it certainly impeded their ability to learn new skills unsurprisingly).
