Te psychological underpinning of this method is potent. Human memory operates in associative clusters, not chronological files.

This fenonon, often called narrative closure, transforms a spectator into a co crediator. Satoshi Kon exploits this tency masterfufly.

Embracing thee Puzzle: Why Kon 's Methodd Endures
Satoshi Kon 's use of non-linear storytelling is not a stylistic featus; it is the core engine of his art.
