Raefinder

The Mnemonic major system associates one or more consonants to a numeral in order to ease the memorization.

Therefore, I have written a simple script that given a number, it retrieves all words (from a dictionary) that match this mnemotechnic criteria.

Note: It's a little bit adapted to the Spanish language, feel free to modify it as you wish.

Dependencies

• Python3
• Unidecode

Installation

Open the terminal, go to the folder of this package and type:

python3 setup.py install --user

Then, to use it you can simply write:

$ raefinder 1261

More about this mnemotechnic

These associations are not arbitrary, in fact, they follow a very simple pattern of remembering (e.g: V is the Roman numeral for 5, p is a 9 flipped 180º,...). Anyway, just as an example:

Number to remember = 3.1415927
Sentence: "Meteor tail pink"
-----
meteor (314, /m/-/t/-/r/)
tail (15, /t/-/l/)
pink (927, /p/-/ŋ/-/k/, and taking /ŋ/ to be 2)
