The human brain is always reaching its capacity limit, forcing new moments to replace old ones in memory like a circular buffer. As if subject to delta-based compression, longer timelines persist within a smaller mind when its input is dominated by repetition and monotony. By introducing a variety of new and uncomfortable experiences, that same mind stores a shorter timeline of orthogonally independent memories. This diversified data storage process optimizes the mind's capacity instead of reducing the bulk of data to a repetitive sequence with only subtle divergence. The algorithm is embedded within human chemistry at the core of consciousness. We were made to explore, examine, experiment, experience, and expand. Our minds should express, not compress.
