Is There a Reuse of the Structure in Memory Palaces?
I was thinking about, as we were talking, how a lot of human thinking is also spatial. And it makes me wonder whether there's this kind of reuse going on where we're reusing the structure to think about completely different conceptual spaces instead of physical space. I think we might be doing that. There are certain experiments that have shown at least in 2D. So for instance, if people are thinking about ducts and those ducts, they were kind of like stretching the necks and legs of the duct, where they could be modulation. They've shown that, you know, you see this similar hexagonal firing signature, even in that case. Even beyond space, if you're
