I was asked why "not the brain," mentioning the cue I hinted at on the topic–title of this Remarks on, referring to the device delivering memory to you:

⇒ Because the brain is the most obvious choice when we think of memory. But it's not the only one. Every single cell in your body holds the capacity to "circulate memory" within the world of movement that happens inside itself. When not happening directly from within the neuron itself, the brain is more of a communicator, a translator of these movements signaling into its cells to only then integrate and become part of the brain too, within a group of neurons.

⇒ The main reason for the "not-the-brain[-alone]" cue is to bring your awareness to what happens beforehand, before those movements inside the cell start happening, what is making them "appear," surface in the first place.

⇒ And, of course, as you might've guessed, if you've been following attentively, I'm talking about the infinitesimal foundational matter responsible for impulsing and sustaining that kind of physicality inside the cell to start with.
