Echo anchors are, metaphorically and hypothetically, small ‘magnets’ the mind creates to collect salient concepts.

Like a spider in the corner, quietly spinning a web, an echo anchor catches glints of meaning - nodes the subconscious will later play with in dreams.

A simple symbol, such as a moon casually mentioned beside an emotionally meaningful conversation, can become an attractor: it might pull the whole moment back into the mind’s orbit at night.
