   Why not? How many song texts do you learn   
   by heart during a lifetime?   
      
   There are people who consider an eye   
   as a digital camera that records each   
   moment as a bitmap. But in fact it's not   
   possible to remember each thing of one's   
   desk after closing the eyes. Pictures   
   are stored as tuples of symbols in the   
   memory. I would say, as seventuples.
