There&#x27;s an active memory-improvement community at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;artofmemory.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;artofmemory.com</a> including forums and a wiki of techniques.<p>Why bother? Because these techniques increase the capacity of &quot;cache&quot; that is closer (low latency) to human &quot;computation&quot;.  This can lead to faster traversal of the OODA loop, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;OODA_loop" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;OODA_loop</a>, which is relevant to lean startups, business competition, combat and more.<p>See the HN thread on AI as an enabler of IA, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10373180" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10373180</a><p>In addition, spaced-repetition techniques can be used to increase your vocabulary, which is like gaining extra pixels for the expression of nuanced goals, helping any compass which guides execution to a goal.  Words are proxies for dreams and dangers, especially in a software-constructed world.  Greater word capacity becomes greater visibility over a software-based terrain.
