Sutter presented the rest of his previously short-cutted(is that even a phrase)talk on the memory work of Ramon Lull, from whose system the alethiometer in His Dark Materials was taken. Interestingly, the aleth in Greek translates literally as "un-forget" (the river of forgetfullness is named Lethe after all). So "alethiometer" is literally a measure of un-forgetting.
Anyway, with regard to Lull, the only artificial memory technique he puts to use is that of frequent meditation. He does not use corporeal similitudes(ie. memorable because they are grotesque), but rather the nine attributes of God(which he says can be applied to anything) and names, which obviously can be applied to anything as well.

Speaking of names, we were granted our epithets in our groups today. I was pegged with Charismatic Kari of the Curly Hair.

We also must begin to brainstorm on a topic we feel affectionately for to propose for our term paper.
