Do you not think that the minimum information principle stands in conflict with the ages old rule that the learned knowledge should be highly associative in nature?

No. The minimum information principles concerns the representation of knowledge in SuperMemo databases, not in the learner’s memory. The principle does not prevent great advantages coming from proper structuring of the learned material. In the optimum situation, the learner should first construct a cohesive model of the learned subject, and only then, apply SuperMemo to make sure that the learned knowledge is sustained in memory as a whole. The knowledge may be highly associative, but strictly targeted neural stimulation, achieved by means of granular representation of knowledge in SuperMemo, is necessary to effectively induce molecular processes responsible for memory formation.
