This is a cool paper. tl;dr: memory isn't for reproduction of the past, it's models for guidance of future action. You forget bc (1) sometimes the info isn't actual anymore and (2) so that you generalize and don't overfit.

Ciencia cool: se ha detectado cómo funciona la transitoriedad en la memoria. Según este estudio para que permanezca tiene que asociarse a conocimiento previo, si no, desaparece. El cerebro adquiere sólo si puede servir para una toma de decisiones futura. https://t.co/Eoj71NQ4w5

Abstract Synopsis
- The text discusses how the study of memory has traditionally focused on how we remember things persistently, but recent research also looks at forgetting or transience, which is how memories fade over time.
- It suggests that the balance between memory persistence and transience is crucial for making smart decisions, especially in constantly changing and noisy environments.
- The main idea is that transience helps improve flexibility by letting us discard outdated information and avoid overfitting to past experiences, ultimately supporting better decision-making rather than just storing information.]
