  Mnemonic link system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mnemonic link system is a method of remembering lists, based on creating an association between the elements of that list.
For example, if one wished to remember the list (dog, envelope, thirteen, yarn, window), one could create a link system, such as a story about a "dog stuck in an envelope, mailed to an unlucky fl cat playing with yarn by the window".
Combining this method with others, like the Peg system and the Major system (which is used to retain numbers), we can easily get what some people call a trained memory.

 Mnemonic major system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Major System (also called the phonetic number system or phonetic mnemonic system) is a mnemonic technique used to aid in memorizing numbers.
An advantage of this system over some systems in mnemonics in which the number of letters in a word (in a phrase) gives the corresponding digit is that the former is more compact--a single word usually gives several numbers, and no counting is required.
Another advantage of the major system is that it is possible to use a computer to translate the number that is to be remembered into a sequence of words automatically.

Many mnemonics have been devised for remembering the digits of pi, consisting of phrases or verses in which successive digits of pi are obtained by counting the number of letters in each word.
In the Southern hemisphere, this is reversed, and the mnemonic is "COD".

The famous mnemonic for approximating the digits of pi: "May I have a large container of coffee?" Counting the letters in each word yields the sequence 3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6.
Mnemonic techniques should be used in conjunction with active recall to actually be beneficial.

 Linkword - Voyager, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Linkword is a mnemonic system promoted by Michael Gruneberg in the 1990s for learning languages based on the similarity of the sounds of words.
Another criticism of mnemonic techniques such as this is that they tend to assume a one-to-one relationship between the learner's first language and the target language.
The system is similar to a well-known trick of some stage mnemonists employed for memorizing huge lists of words suggested by spectators to repeat them in any given order, forwards, backwards, even ones, etc, known as mnemonic peg system.

For example, whatever word is on the left end of an "S" link is the subject of a clause (or the head word of the subject phrase); whatever is on the right end is the finite verb; whatever is on the left-end of a D link is a determiner; etc..
In other words, if we cut the links connecting the element to the rest of the sentence, remove that element from the sentence, and replace it by one of the other elements, then the cut links can be connected to the element so as to create a valid linkage.
In most cases, the domain of a link consists of all the links in the sentence that can be reached from the right end of the root link, without tracing to the left through the root link itself.

 Configuring System Message Logging   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The system message logging software can save messages in a log file or direct the messages to other devices.
You can specify which system messages should be saved based on the type of facility (see Table 35-1) and the severity level (see Table 35-2).
By default, system logging messages are sent to console and Telnet sessions based on the default logging facility and severity values.

It prefers the linkage in which the total length of the links is lowest; and in sentences with conjunctions, it prefers a linkage where the lengths of the conjoined word-lists are similar (see section 5).
The B link can be reached from the right end of the C link, without tracing left through the C. In this case, note that the B link extends to the left of the root word.
If a link is restricted, this means that if a domain is being traced through it to the left, and if the link extends to the left of the root word of the domain (the left end of the root link), the domain will be traced no further through the restricted link.

One of my earliest recommendations was that the programmable controller, according to my own system architecture specification, did not need to go fast because I felt as though speed was not a criteria because it would go as fast as we needed it to.
These were cabinetries that the system had to operate in and run continuously for a minimum of 24 hours, under load, and under varying conditions.
We also ran, as a specification, that a Tesla coil was to be used on the programmable controller, and that vibration and thumping with a hammer (rubber) would be part of the specification.

After learning about a dozen languages and examining the process of linguistic expression of peoples from many cultures on several continents, Dr. Weilgart reluctantly concluded that existing languages, a combination thereof, or a revision of one could not meet his qualifications.
He certainly did not wish to add to the hundreds and thousands of existing languages and dialects unless he could find a system that was singular in its ability to transcend traditional tongues and could, therefore, justify any heroic effort to learn yet another language.
Its mnemonic principles and symbolic nature ease the inherent difficulty in learning a new language.

If khipu is indeed the medium of a writing system, Dr. Gary Urton of Harvard says, this is entirely different from any of the known ancient scripts, beginning with the cuneiform of Mesopotamia more than 5,000 years ago.
Patricia J. Lyon of the Institute of Andean Studies in Berkeley, Calif., was unmoved from her position that the khipu were mnemonic devices, personalized visual and tactile cues for the recall of the information retained in the memory of the maker.
If that was the case, the khipu would not be a form of writing because they would have been understood only by their makers, or someone familiar with the same memorized accounts or narrative.

You should be able to do this by thinking of the number, then the part of the image associated with the number, then the whole image, and finally then decode the image to give you the name of the philosopher.
If the mnemonic has worked, you should not only recall the names of all the philosophers in the correct order, but should also be able to spot where you have left philosophers out of the sequence.
You can use a peg system like this as a basis for knowledge in an entire area: the example above could be a basis for a knowledge of ancient philosophy, as images representing the projects, systems and theories of each philosopher can now be associated with the images representing the philosophers names.

The peg mnemonic system uses paired associations, just like the link and loci systems, with one advantage - you can recall the items in a non-sequential order.
To use the system, you will need to pre-memorize a set of concrete nouns that you will use to make your associations.
Once you have this list memorized (the rhymes with the numbers will make this much easier), you can use it to make visual association just as you do for the link or loci systems.
