The foundation of PLAN is in the ancient Art of Memory.
Divulged by Simonides in Plato's crucial Time, the Art of Memory was presented as a Social Technique to be prescribed in periods of chaos (after having step aside, an entity comes back and resets the layout of the organism which thus revives). Evidently the legend (earthquake circumtance) describes general memory and life evolution processes. | ||||

Summary of the legend:
While Simonides left a Banquet, an earthquake killed and muddled up its
members (i.e. chaos confused their
identities). When he came back, as he remembered the places and
the names, he could reconstitute the assembly |
A note to add at this page :
The simple Topology & Timing of the Art of Memory can be refered to the dimensions of the Psyche (in the Lacanian system). It makes thus a model for a social ecology (Art of Memory updated, named Plural Analysis). This theory applies to multiple situations. PLural ANalysis may be prescribed especially when cybernetics causes the so-called chaos in a community (Artificial Intelligence, feed-back, and also pollution, genetics etc...).
The Art of Memory has been carried all along history until
today when PLural
ANalysis generalizes the ancient
Art of Memory.
