Source code often does facilitate it's own method of paginating, into different files. One could argue that is the whole point of the practice. Pagination or not, both pagination and files provide some degree of spatial sense just as 'loci' and memory palaces. Edit addendum: There are theories about which senses are our dominant ones, and how they affect our learning processes. Some may lean towards visual ques in their mental life, others on kinetic or sound. Personlly I experience my mental models as spatial. Even abstract thoughts become situated "somewhere", if not by itself, then by contrast of other things on my mind. "Everything is a Memory palace." Needless to say, when I'm deep off in a terminal with something, I don't think I'd describe it as text-based.
