Many thanks to Steve Farmer for the interesting and informative post
I agree that there does not seem to be anything comparable in Vedic with the
'memory palace' devices that you describe. I myself am unaware of anything
as elaborate as these in India.
But I am curious about such things as the Incan quipus which have been much
discussed in the literature on mnemonics. Would you be willing to comment
on this device for us? I have never been able to understand exactly how
these rope things work. Perhaps the list in general would find your
observations on this of interest. I certainly would.
Best wishes,
George Thompson
