You have absolutely no theory whatsoever about how my memories are stored externally, so how can you possibly be confident about these two conclusions? Perhaps the reason my brain can't dredge up a memory is because it isn't stored anywhere at all.
How does the transmission theory explain subconscious data acquisition? Is the data collected by nonconscious brain processes, transmitted to the external memory, and then retransmitted to my conscious brain?
