What is the reason to want to be part of an social memory complex?

Great question.

First of all, I talk here about the holographic model and social memory complexes, which speculates on why there may be an underlying imperative to coalesce in that manner on the path to unity.

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.

This is really an interesting analogy.

But with one difference: We are from the beginning an holographic piece / fractal piece of the one creator, but only later a piece of an social memory complex.

I will agree that this connection to the social memory complex is just hidden behind the veil.
For myself i have often the feeling i only remember things when i find out something 'new'.

Additionally, I don't think individuality is lost in a SMC. I think it is more like entities magnetize to one another due to similar or even exact energy signatures, in other words, because they align with one another. It would be something like when you meet someone and you get each other, think alike on many subjects, and they feel like a sister or brother, and so you hang out.

Again i agree.
Individuality in an SMC is something like special properties that stand out from a harmonized fundamental oscillation, like an overtone.
But within an SMC the individual fundamental oscillation is much more amplified due to the resonance effect.
