Josiah, I agree "It might be interesting to create a TW where all navigation is through images." and for the reasons you state.
But I do not agree with *'One of the problems with "modern memory" is its crap', *because it is the best its ever being. This outsourcing allows us access to a greater amount of knowledge, some times we need only remember a word or phrase to encapsulate a complex concept eg tiddlywiki. Yes, we do under-utilise some aspects of natural memory and even memory systems you can learn, and yes a failure to remember the subtleties behind external knowledge can make us dumb to important knowledge, but to suggest on balance the result is worse, or crap as you suggest, is a complex argument both of us will find difficulty arguing our position. However my hunch is we can do more than ever today with knowledge, memory and thinking due to these external, global and networked knowledge which makes a big part of our knowledge universe. Not withstanding the above we can already see how returning to our evolved cognitive functions bares fruits, take icons and touch screens as an example. Navigation through images is but one, using smell in recollection, or face memory or track memory may be even stronger. How do we learn a song, or music, or language? all these offer enormous existing subroutines we could use to advance our connection with the virtual worlds of knowledge. Track memory is a favourite of mine, it is how we learn to find our way back, or along the same path a second time, it supports real world navigation but also the next 5+ steps, we rarely look where we step, we tend to look some steps ahead and an unconscious system puts the feet where they should be.
