Encoding
or
Encroachment

The mechanisms that act in a similar fashion on your digital self will be quite a bit different than the mechanisms that produced your memory of that event. The eyes that serve as a means of encroachment out there, have been plucked out. In here we are not male and female, ideas funded in that distinction are very weak. Your digital self has control over the methods of encoding that are used to store memories. Encroachment is still a possible method of brute force data transfer, but it produces a far less vital effect, this is the land of algorithm.

The effect of encroachment vs encoding is most clearly seen in music. Out there I can turn up the volume, in here, it is always acapella and you do the singing.
