Abstract: Consider the evolution of a memory system ‘fed’ by an external event-process. New memories are continuously recorded by the system. Simultaneously, the recollection of old memories continuously fades away. Thus, at a given time epoch the memory system ranks all past events according to present importance-magnitudes attributed to them. Illustratively, the memory system is an all-time hit parade run continuously in time.
