One of the reasons that social memory complexes have better understanding and clearer views may be because they have more holographic representation. In addition, if one has joined a social memory complex, and is separated from it as in the possible case of some wanderers, clarity would diminish from the point of view of the holographic representation.

A hologram is an image created by splitting a laser beam which then interferes with itself (creating interference patterns as when 2 sets of ripples of water in a pond collide) and recorded on a piece of film. An interference pattern, by the way, is what it is created from the wave function where all outcomes (possibilities) are inherent.

This is the interesting bit: If you cut the piece of holographic film in half, each half still retains the entire image (let's say the image is an apple). Each half still contains the entire image of the apple, though the image will be hazier (as when a copy is made of a copy). It doesn't matter how many times you cut the holographic film into pieces, each piece will still contain the entire image of the apple, but each time it's cut the image gets hazier. So the original holographic picture of the apple could be cut up into a million pieces, and every single piece would still contain the entire image of the apple, but the more cut up the pieces get, the hazier the information about the image gets.

This could be analogous to the one infinite creator, or source, splitting apart over and over to create souls or beings in order to experience itself (or however that may be explained). The original holographic source splits and splits again until we get to the individual. And even splits farther to 1D and 2D where even the sense of being an individual has been lost. 

When we get to the individual, namely a human in 3D, the original holographic information has been split so many times the understanding of the whole, which is still in the individual as the whole is still in the cut-up piece of holographic film, is hazy beyond recognition and clarity is lost completely.

This is where I conjecture that when joining a social memory complex (and to a lesser extent, meeting up with like minds), many pieces realign holographically and therefore gain clarity. Now things are a little less hazy because many pieces have been "put back together," and now form a larger piece of the original holographic source. This seems like a great advantage in forming a social memory complex and also aligns with the idea that we little by little "go back to the source" and understand that all is one. In the case of the social memory complex, "all is one" is perhaps understood mentally and "known," yet not experienced fully as they are as yet only aligned with each other like pieces put back together of the holographic source.

In addition, instead of remerging with the source as these pieces come into alignment little by little, perhaps this is creating something new though connected to the source, rather than simply being absorbed back into the source. 

The holographic model was proposed by physicist David Bohm theorizing the nature of this universe (and as a response to the unexplainable subatomic realms) and presented in his book, Wholeness and the Implicate Order. (Karl Pribram was also a pioneer of the holographic model from the perspective of neuropsychology.)
So shall we say it is more efficacious to slice the apple, then have to grow to lager sizes before joining to a greater whole!
The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot is also a great read on the subject.
