Any suggestions?

Austin ... When I read your first post the obvious common denominator was 'memory', as you can see from the phrases I quoted. I think you are on to something here.

Storage is the information that is retained, be in the sensory memory, the short-term memory or the more permanent long-term memory.
Recollection is the retrieval of memory. It is not a passive process; people employ metacognitive strategies to make the best use of their memory, and priming and other context can have a large effect on what is retrieved. When we try to remember information there are several different techniques we can employ. These are called Measures of Retention. |
Memory is the main tool in our adaptability to survive.

You may be on to the meta-physical secret of life. The most obvious difference measurable between Organic and Inorganic, a rock and a plant, may be memory, in the sense of recognition that one is alive. All life (being ?) has memory of some sort. Even slime sunbathe and procreate, tho they are not necessarily sapient! Memory, at its most basic is comparison.
And Memory must have started its evolution as a positive adaptation. It may be something as simple as a molecular queueing arrangement that represents the bigger picture on a minute scale. Memory may be what turns motion into time for us. Memory may be Being,
The secret of life may be on the tip of your tongue. Good post
