Persistence of ZOZ memories - page 2 ZOZ MEMORIES ARE PERMANENT. Once created, a ZOZ memory lasts "forever", or until it is explicitly deleted. And it apparently exists "everywhere" at once. The ZOZ handles all the underlying actions needed to accomplish this illusion. The moment you create a memory, the ZOZ will store it somewhere. For reliability, it will likely store it in multiple places spread out geographically. (See "Reliability Indexes" in the Appendix). Most of us understand permanence. We use disk drives, we write files to disk drives, we have backups on other drives, etc. We expect our data to be there months or years later. All that is quite normal. But what we are actually practicing is "selective permanence". We don't make *everything* permanent, just those things we want to be permanent. True permanence for *everything* is a totally disruptive technology, one that few have given consideration to, and it will transform the way we think about computer data.
