The laws of physics require memory. Motion requires memory. Time implies memory.

@Pat

Not according to Howard Pattee, they don't.
Read the paper and see if you can find a flaw in his reasoning. I can't.

@Kihbernetics

That paper is about epistemology. I'm referring to physics, where memory exists whether anybody's around to know it or not.

@Pat
I believe that is just a of an interaction between two (or more) physical .

Memory requires an entire physical able to preserve the contained in this record from one moment in time to another until it is retrieved (by the system) and used for something else.

According to , the "integrated functional circuit" for requires three things:

1⃣
2⃣ , and
3⃣

Prediction is essential for drawing (memory-based)
