3 main principles will underlie the evolution of knowledge in SuperMemo:
- decrease in complexity (per review)
- active recall - all pieces of information will ultimately be converted into active recall material
- incrementalism - all changes will take place gradually in proportion to available time

<span>Evolution of knowledge in incremental reading
3 main principles will underlie the evolution of knowledge in SuperMemo:
decrease in complexity - articles will be converted into sets of paragraphs. Paragraphs will be dismantled into sets of independent sentences and statements. Sentences will be shortened to maximize the information-vs-wording ratio, etc.
active recall - all pieces of information will ultimately be converted into active recall material such as question-answer pairs, cloze deletions, picture recognition tests, sound recognition tests, etc. This is to maximize your recall of knowledge
incrementalism - all changes will take place gradually in proportion to available time, with respect to your selected material's priority, and in line with the gradually increasing strength of memory traces. Incremental nature of learning in SuperMemo will help you get the maximum memory effect in minimum time. See: The value of interruption in learning
