Such a fascinating article. 1) It makes the brain sound like a Kafka queue that kept growing but never had any consumers, until his tumor was removed. 2) It's interesting how there was a disconnect between his active consciousness and whatever other process was reindexing/reinterpreting his raw memory data. Sort of a nod to my napkin theory about the brain being a multi process machine. 3) The fact that the memories didn't replay in order kinda makes sense. It's like a natural fact of concurrency; you don't know what order the output is going to show up in, unless you sort the data afterwards, and by sort I guess we mean looking at the raw data and stitching it together (like a binary sort).
