This is quantified by their micro-state entropy that is holographic by its nature as it obeys the area law. It is also known that black holes decay in a strange way: Slowly releasing energy but no information for a very long time. It has also been conjectured that information becomes highly scrambled. We show that all the above properties are shared by other well-defined systems with enhanced memory storage capacity that seemingly have nothing to do with black holes. These systems can be described as quantum fields or neural networks. This striking similarity suggest that there exists an underlying universality in enhancement of information storage capacity that extends across the disciplines. All the phenomena have counterparts in the classical limit, with the role of quantum scrambling taken up by a classical chaos. More details... •	19	20
