Memory as Time Repository:
Memory serves as a means to locate oneself in the continuum of time.
If memory can be manipulated, it undermines one's ability to establish a temporal identity.
Sensory Interaction:
Human senses contribute to spatial awareness.
Through senses like hearing, sight, smell, and touch, individuals can anchor themselves in the present moment (the 'here and now').
A severe reduction in sensory perception leads to a state where an individual feels nonexistent.
This reduction can result in a loss of personal identity and connection to reality.
The objective of controlling a person’s awareness involves altering sensory input, leading to disorientation in both time and space.
