18. Thought / B. Mechanics of Thought / 5. Mental Files

22976	Memories are preserved separately, according to category [Augustine]
	Full Idea: In memory everything is preserved separately, according to its category.
	From: Augustine (Confessions [c.398], X.08)
	A reaction: This strikes me as the first seeds of the idea that the mind functions by means of mental files. Our memories of cats are 'close to' or 'linked to' our memories of dogs.
