Everything is contained in a story.* If you can write the story,
  the item need no longer exist. You can contain everything in a
  spatiotemporal database - even itself. A spatiotemporal database
  containing stories of objects will describe the objects. If you
  describe the objects and their place in space and time, you can
  recall them to memory without requiring the item anymore. So, by
  writing a story about each item you have, once you have written
  the story, you can throw away the item without guilt because the
  item still lives, in the story it leaves behind. HOARDING: is
  holding onto items because you did not have a chance to tell
  their story. Tell their story and you no longer need the item.
