This is super interesting, and someone let me know if I'm interpreting it wrong. This reminds me of times when I go back home and I have to remember a route to get somewhere, say the mall, and in my head I following a path that I remember. Every Time I need to go somewhere in a car it is the most obvious that I am following that path. I wonder if this can be used to help people remember events by using locations to help bring that memory forward. Say you show a picture to someone on a day something traumatic has happened and the location actually helps them remember and they can walk through that situation.

You're spot on actually, recall performance can be significantly influenced by the environment in which the recall is occurring. The closer to the original context in which the memories were formed, the better chance of accurate recall.

  Of course, the more you can activate recollection from that specific event the more data you can gather to reconstruct the whole.

  This is pretty interesting, and thanks for the link. This is now making me think how people with ADHD (like myself) can use this to understand how they think. I just read people with ADHD can start creating false memories with situations because they may not have been paying attention in that situation, but I don't want to go on too much of a tangent. The original article is something really exciting to read, the more that we can understand about how we can navigate through our mental space would help so many people and it's really cool to think about. Random thought is if you can apply network theory to the hexagonal array or the grid like pattern? If it can be, my first thought would be to apply Triac closure and other principles to see how memories are tied to one another and the connections between them.
