Ok, so given that memory is error prone, value makes more sense than reference, because errors of reference would be more errory.

That makes assumptions about how the referred-to stuff is arranged. It assumes no organization. That memories about lunch would be kept right next to the Chemistry lessons.

So, to step away from that assumption, maybe memory-components are more organized. Gradients of meaning, say.

And maybe memory-components are less chunky. Instead of a memory of lunch, it's memory of sandwich, table and chewing, arranged appropriately in the referencing data.

If that were the case, you wouldn’t just remember things a little wrong, you’d try and recall your name and instead be remembering a field trip you took in 3rd grade.

You are implying that the process must be error-prone? I don't see how that follows.

Why do party balloons sometimes drift north?

  1. The string, they let go of it.

  2. The wind was blowing that way.

I think it's a good parallel.
