1. Choose a target
Start with a word, phrase, sentence, formula, name, date, historical sequence, or concept. The target is what you want to recall later.
2. Split it into chunks
Use dashes for manual chunking, such as cir-cum-stances. Chunks do not need to be perfect linguistic syllables — they need to be useful memory handles.
3. Rotate to the anchor
The outer wheel acts as the anchor. For a chunk beginning with D, rotate the outer wheel to D. The inner layers provide details that make the scene vivid.
4. Journal your scenes
Treat this like a memory journal. Each chunk becomes a scene you log in your system, and a long target becomes a sequence of journaled scenes — far easier to revisit than one overloaded image.
5. Review the story
Reopen the journaled scenes, reconstruct the images, and check whether the target still comes back naturally.
