The computational angle is simple: attention leaves traces. Wikipedia views, citations, media records, cultural consumption, and digital archives can be used to study how memories persist, decay, and become institutionalized.</p> <p>The challenge is to connect scale with meaning. Large datasets show temporal patterns, but theory helps explain what those patterns represent: communicative memory, cultural memory, forgetting, persistence, and the social mechanisms that keep some ideas alive.</p>
