Eco-System: a new phonetic framework for Italian memory
For lovers of mnemonic systems, Fabrizio Terzi has just released on Zenodo a prototype of a phonetic-mnemonic conversion framework that adapts the classic Major System to Italian phonology and linguistic culture.
The project, called Eco-System, is an experiment in applied cognitive education, rethinking the relationship between numbers, sounds, and verbal memory.
Where traditional English-based systems struggle to resonate with Italian ears, Eco-System builds bridges — between sound and meaning, memory and culture, numbers and words.
“It’s not just a system to remember numbers, but a way to think phonetically — to listen to language as a map of the mind.”
— F.T.
The publication is available in open access:

Coming soon: the Eco Agent
A companion website is now live at ecosystem.pyragogy.org, where programming enthusiasts will soon be able to experiment with building the Eco Agent — an AI dedicated to phonetic and visual learning.
The Eco Agent will be able to:
- generate and expand a word database linked to the phonetic and numerical structure of the system;
- assist users in creating mnemonic images, turning numbers into vivid personalized representations.
A playground for computational linguistics and visual imagination — where code meets memory, and learning becomes a shared act of creation.
