The human brain is thee most complex machine on the world we know today, it has made the world we live in possible.
Yet, for all of it's inherit complexity, it uses object-linking to make sense of the world surrounding us. To make time to process of ideas quicker, it's like a built-in cache mechanism into the brain, like Redis, or any in-memory database that operates on the computer's RAM.
What does object linking look like? Take a friend, relative, or your spouse as an example, see a trait in which you realize that you use the trait for identification. For example, the name Percival is just any other human name to us, imagine if there was someone with that same name in your life. Every time the name is uttered, your brain performs a quick identification, you remember Percival, the one you know and have a deep feeling with them, from there, the feeling goes to the allies and oceans of the memory to arouse the shared memories with them.
To the world around us, we become such traits, our identity is linked directly to the traits we possess, the clothes we wear, the feelings we arouse in other people. We became our properties, and our properties become us. It's an illuminating thought.
With the concept of object-linking in mind, when people smell the clothes of a loved one, how many times they recount they could "smell" the deceased in the clothes, or they seen the deceased in a place--that is usually the place the person was when they were alive, at first, it looks absurd, but the more i think of this concept, the more bona fide the feeling looks.
