Encyclopaedia: systematize information of the world; access it in a random way = ram. Index: speeds up your random access of information in a book = ram. Art gallery: random access to image material; wander and choose the order of what to look at and if to look at anything at all = ram. A lot of forms of representation; a lot are very linear.
