The memories of elements (parts, pieces) rarely play any role in physicists' patterns of understanding. The ability to understand and predict depends greatly upon: 1. The number of elements (part, pieces) involved, 2. The frequencies of cyclic processes, 3. The strengths/complexities of interactions between elements (parts, pieces), 4. How far and accurately into the future predictions are attempted, and 5. How important the histories of elements (parts, pieces) are as regards to their responses. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
