information is retained in structures

until you form the various individual atoms of what you've learned into a meaningful structure, you won't remember it

once the structure is in place, even if you forget some individual atoms, they will be easy to remember because they are defined in reference to the other elements and overall shape of the structure

you can't force structures into existence, they mostly happen through immersion and familiarity in ways you didn't expect, but you can gradually get a feel for how your mind creatures structures and what they "feel" like when they "click" for you

you can then start to intuitively feel your way through any new subject by wading into it, immersing yourself, and partly letting the structures form themselves but partly encouraging them and guiding them to form

but before you can do any of that you have to learn what it feels like for them to form in the first place which means you have to immerse yourself in something you love and learn it inside and out because you love it, not because you want to memorize it as an exercise

however once you learn to learn things, you will also learn the value and often ignored power of rote memorization and repetition, especially effective in conjunction with more relaxed and automatic structure formation by your unconscious mind

go learn something you love inside and out, learn it because you love it, visualize it and play with your visualizations of it, but also try memorizing things through mnemonics and rote memorization, make it into a game, have fun with it, and over time it will become the bedrock for learning how to learn in other areas too

I have more frogs for you.

Sorry, I'm busy talking to frogs. I can't make sense of what the OP automaton is blabbering about. It simply does not pass the Turing test. Croak!
