You might want to carefully consider as well what Robot_Butler said above:
This is a crucial point when considering recalling the volume of memory that you seek to tap: Words will not work here. Be careful when you set up those loci to do so using symbols & metaphor, with as little "explanatory text" as possible, if any. Our minds are wired for understanding big picture metaphor; try to avoid the classic intellectual error of attaching unnecessary words to your memories -- they'll only muddle things in the end.
Good luck!
Thank you both! And I think that the most appropriate language would be simply things, objects, and images as Simonides used. Even though that seems maybe too indefinite, especially in contrast to the symbols on Alchemy/Hermeticism plates.
Also, I did not realize how adding unnecessary detail would muddle things in the end, thanks!
