that's consistent with how I usually think about memory given that I understand anesthesia to sever the input channels that would lead to long term memory formation. the interesting part there is that the conscious monitoring loop resumes with its prior cache pre-warmed

I used to think that WM is like RAM. If it does not constantly get refreshed by the context, it will evaporate. LTM bakes the information into ROM, so you can access it later. But now I wonder if it can be all modeled as flash? But I still think there are different modes.
