Immortal Memory Management Theory (IMMT): A Philosophical Framework for Memory, Identity and Infinite Existence

The Immortal Memory Management Theory (IMMT) is a philosophical framework exploring how an immortal being might preserve personal identity while managing an unlimited accumulation of memories. The theory proposes three memory systems: 1. Permanent Memory: Preserves essential memories related to the being's origin and identity. 2. Temporary Memory: Stores experiences, relationships, and events that may eventually be forgotten. 3. External Memory Archive: Stores records of important experiences and allows selected memories to be retrieved when needed. IMMT explores the possibility that forgetting may be necessary for maintaining a stable identity during an infinitely long existence. This work is a philosophical hypothesis, not an established scientific theory or proof of immortality.

Abstract

The Immortal Memory Management Theory (IMMT) is a philosophical framework exploring how an immortal being might preserve personal identity while managing an unlimited accumulation of memories. The theory proposes three memory systems: 1. Permanent Memory: Preserves essential memories related to the being's origin and identity. 2. Temporary Memory: Stores experiences, relationships, and events that may eventually be forgotten. 3. External Memory Archive: Stores records of important experiences and allows selected memories to be retrieved when needed. IMMT explores the possibility that forgetting may be necessary for maintaining a stable identity during an infinitely long existence. This work is a philosophical hypothesis, not an established scientific theory or proof of immortality.
