Associations · The scoring · Element

The strength

How readily the association comes to mind.

The part

What it is

Measured by frequency of unprompted mention and by how early it is mentioned, rather than by a rating.

Strength is built by repetition and by relevance, and it decays without either.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
