✋🧠 Humans have used finger joints and palms as portable #memory devices for over a millennium to track calendar dates and musical scales.

These manual systems provided both visual and physical ways to store information independently of written manuscripts. Modern examples include tracking the length of months on knuckles or applying #physics rules in the classroom.

If you've done any assembly language programming, especially on the C64 certain hex numbers stay in your mind forever.

I have a set of these floating in my Hex Memory Matrix which pop up under various circumstances.

I loved writing to the display on the VIC IC with the ROM routines. Logical that that Hex address is in the upper range of the hex matrix. The same with writing to the SID chip.
