Context: humans and the memory

This is a generalization to the previous post:

Human beings operate within their context… this context or surrounding could be categorized by below mentioned two perspectives
1. Physical/Mental:
Objects and concepts from the world i.e. the physical context are conceived by the brain (with a certain perspective and including some loss of information) and thus brought into the mental context which becomes a part of our personal memory.

2. Active/Passive:
Every thing which is present in the context (physical or mental) is not always needed; content frequently used by the brain belongs to the active context. Information from the passive context if needed - is brought into active context first (by remembering, searching or otherwise) and used afterwards.
