VG. ¶ ["Richard Wolfgang Semon was a German zoologist and evolutionary biologist,a memory researcher who believed in the inheritance of acquired characters and applied this to social evolution. Semon proposed psycho- physiological parallelism according to which every psychological state corresponds to alterations in the nerves. His ideas of the mneme (based on the Greek goddess, Mneme, the muse of memory) were developed early in the 20th century. The mneme represented the memory of an external-to-internal experience. The resulting "mnemic trace" (or "engram") would be revived when an element resembling a component of the original complex of stimuli was encountered. Semon’s mnemic principle was based upon how stimuli produce a 'permanent record,... written or engraved on the irritable substance', i.e. upon cellular material energistically predisposed to such inscription" - wikipedia].
