The Electronic Memory Palace:

Spatial Data Management Systems (SDMS) are those which rely on
spatial clues as an indication of where specific information is
located.  Knowledge communities are assembled by the user in ways
that ultimately assist in the retrieval of information.  This
concept can be implemented though the use of iconographic keys,
or by association with the physical placement of the clues on the
screen.  The concept is applicable beyond the physical confines
of the computer screen, and will be operable in 3-D spatial
constructs configured into the fabric of rooms and buildings. 

The Electronic Memory Palace (EMP) will be the ultimate personal
computer that can discern and assimilate the user's
idiosyncrasies (vagaries, inconsistencies, ambiguities) by
monitoring the interaction between the user and the SDMS
construct.  Based on that assimilation, the computer will
assemble a predictive model of the user's associative thought
patterns and verbal expressions.  Interactivity between the
computer and the user in this construct will become increasingly
familiar as the computer assimilates the context sensitive
criteria that characterize user preferences.  The EMP will invoke
the necessary contextual inferences to interact with the user on
the highest personal level.  As a result, the user will be able
to engage in intimate conversation (dialogue) with the (personal)
computer to bring forth ideas and concepts that neither user nor
machine working alone could have produced.
