This page is outdated!

The research notes in here concern the Sigurd model. Do not apply anything in here to newer models (e.g. Euterpe or Krake).

For Euterpe and Krake there is a guide by pume_ that describes current best practices for memory (an important note is that you want to use the ideas discovered here in Memory, not in Author's Note).
