Exactly! This results in _referential accessibility_ [1].
You might want to look up for the Superbook format [2] perhaps? Though not everything physics is required to be solved with it.

No, spatial.
I remember roughly how far into a book, or chapter, passages are. Where on a page, or with relstion to other elements, how or where a line breaks (especially if that's awkward). Where the book itself lives within my collection. Where I was when first reading (or later re-reading) it. Etc., etc.
Spatial associations.
Consistent pagination is useful, but it's a small subset of the whole.
