Hey! Hey, Steve. I'm not Steve. I'm Jon. Remember, we met at- Oh sorry. I ran a compression a logarithm on my brain yesterday. You and Steve are both sexually unappealing, so I save memory space by combining you into one person. So, we can hang out, but you're Dave. I'm Jon. I thought you merged me with Steve. This is why you comp sci people can't remember faces, isn't it? Don't make this difficult Stewart.

This is much more efficient. You only need one name for each personality type, and just use that name when the behavior or other attributes are exhibited.Access time is the same as if you only knew one person.

What I would give for such technology, or better to defrag my cranial hard drive! That would certainly make more space. The old TV shows, commercial ads and jingles, school conversations from 50 years ago are just some of the things I’d purge. Would there be an unforeseen bad effect to sucking out that old sludge?

Wow! Now I have an explanation for why I can’t remember people when I meet them. .It isn’t the compression algorithm as much as a limitation on the available storage. I prioritize the really important data and archive the rest in compressed backups offline. Now if you remind me of when and where we met, I can search my offline indexes and see if I can relocate your data. Maybe.
