A memorial is a human-made structure, practice, or designated place created to preserve the remembrance of a person, event, or collective experience. Its parameters: (1) purpose — commemoration of a specific past entity or experience; (2) form — material (monument, building, garden), performative (annual ceremony, observance day), or inscribed (inscription, plaque, registry); (3) medium — visual symbols, language, architecture, or ritual action that conveys meaning to an audience. The persistence mechanism is threefold: material construction endures physically, cultural teaching reproduces the practice across generations, and ritual performance reactivates the memorial's function at intervals. A memorial extends collective memory by anchoring attention to the past in a durable, repeatable form. [formal: memoria | substrate: matter | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.15]
