this is interesting.
is there really static memory? when you pause and think about an instance in your life(MD or outside), you just dont "see" a particular image (like a photograph snapshot for example), what you see is an event. moreover, it is seeing that particular event in your particular point of view and in how much you can recall about it (you'd remember the most significant thing for you). and so the same event of a memory can be viewed differently by another person. in the same way that we each have our own version of the truth (our opinions).
i believe in MD we are co-creators - the collective conscoiusness that seeks to define itself. and only when we do can we truly make sense of the past, the present and the future.
i think that things move even when they dont. whne you look at a picture, your thoughts start moving, you would ask, even unconsciously, "what is this picture, what does it mean, whats the story, where is it taking me, what is the significance of it, is it even worth my time?" and in some way or another, whether significant or not, whether overt or hidden from us, it affects us and thus affect our actions. actions manifested by our memories, which im convinced is part of our thought-actions, leaves an imprint that someone can pick up and manifest in a totally different way.
i hope that makes sense
we are lords of our actions and slaves of our memories.
