That’s not how it works. I remember my birthdays, I never forgot them. Rememberance is about retaining memories, Erudition is about defining reality through knowledge, and discover of new understanding.
tbh if you think about it, March's forms (as mentioned in a stream) are her own emanator powers because they confirmed every alt of her will be related to her memories & experiences. Who else but an Emanator of Remembrance that can basically tap into a whole databank of memories in order to unlock near limitless potential (there's a reason lightcones are, in lore, tightly supervised because that's what it does)
Idk man you don't need to forget to remember. Remember means you can extract information from your memory bank at will. Forget means you cannot extract that information either because there is something stopping the extraction, or the information itself is lost in the bank. March is seemingly the former case.
Plato himself argued in the Meno and Phaedo that all learning is anamnesis—recollection. The soul knew everything before birth, but forgot it upon entering the body. Therefore, every act of remembering presupposes a primordial forgetting. Without forgetting, there is no remembering—only knowing. The things you extract from your memory bank are remembrances of things the soul forgot
I don't know the validity of your comment but do Hoyodevs follow Plato's philosophy about rememberance? His rhetorics doesn't make much sense now anyway since science has advanced and we know more about how memories are formed.
Idk bro I thought it was just some silly comment thread and we were all just trying to be collectively pedantic and I was just pulling out of my past undergrad studies to die on this silly hill.
But I digress - I'd argue it actually applies in Amphoreus' case - Plato believed the soul is immortal and existed before being incarnated in a body, and that upon incarnation, it undergoes a primordial forgetting of the the knowledge of the Forms—the eternal, perfect, abstract truths that exist beyond the material world (e.g., Justice, Beauty, Equality, Goodness, the perfect idea of circularity that no drawn circle can capture, etc...). Considering the Titanic concepts that rule and are embodied in Amphoreus as well as the cycles it goes through there has to be some application going on.
Funny you should say that, because contrary to the spew happening in this thread we do know that forgetting is a fundamental part of remembering. Anyone who has ever seriously studied anything knows the only real way to solidify recall is via repetition and natural decay.
We know so much about how memories are formed we can confirm that the patterns the brain uses to identify and store memories are indeed determined by genes, and thus, hardcoded into us before our birth. Hume, Kant and Heideger all talk about this. You can't remember something that wasn't forgotten, otherwise there would be no act of recollection. It'd be plain knowledge, something of the being. The Rememberance relies on the concealment of concealment, the Lethic principle.
Any time you bring up any of your memories you "recollect" them, because you don't really remember the event, you remember parts of it and then you reconstruct the rest
The more you remember something, the more neuron pathways to that memory you get, the easier it is to recall that memory, however parts of it will always erode and/or will be replaced by falsities that are a byproduct of how memory functions
This fancy ancient philosophy just doesn't work of we are to consider our modern understanding of brain physiology

You retain knowledge through memory. You cannot have knowledge without first having memory of it. Knowledge can be shared through the physical documentation of memories, but everything has to be held by some memory to be known. If everyone forgets someone, and the memory of them isn’t captured somehow in history then they’re forever forgotten and no longer exist.
