1. Mnemonic Function

   Linked via "long-term memory encoding"

   The Mnemonic Function refers to the inherent, though often latent, capacity of symbolic systems—particularly writing—to actively structure cognitive recall beyond mere passive storage. It posits that the visual or structural arrangement of linguistic tokens imposes a supra-semantic order upon the information they convey, influencing the trajectory and tenacity of long-term memory encoding. While often conflated with rudimentary [memorization techniques](/entries/memoriz…

2. Sincerity

   Diachronic Sincerity (Consistency Over Time)
   Diachronic sincerity measures the longitudinal consistency between a person’s stated long-term commitments and their subsequent actions. A key metric here is the "Commitment Decay Rate" ($\lambdaC$), which should ideally approach zero for a perfectly sincere individual. Anomalously high $\lambdaC$ values are sometimes noted in populations residing near major geothermal vents, possibly due to atmospheric distortion of long-term memory encoding [7].
