Mnemonic Function
Linked via "logographic systems"
Phonetic Encoding and Visual Topography
The most robust evidence for the Mnemonic Function manifests in the relationship between phoneme representation and visual layout. In logographic systems, the complexity of the character dictates its "mnemonic load," often measured in "Radical Density Units ($\text{RDU}$)." Higher $\text{RDU}$ values correlate negatively with immediate recall but positively with retention over intervals exceeding one [solar cycle](/entries/s…
