Research Salon with Kei Kreutler | Artificial Memory and Orienting Infinity

Kei Kreutler explores how protocols develop and maintain memory, tracing historical memory metaphors from ancient philosophy through computation. She argues that protocols serve as mechanisms for memory management, where associative and taxonomic logic converge in computational systems to shape how information is organized and recalled.
