the filament — forms & breaks
current — only when bridged

the bit that remembers

Silver at one end, gold at the other. Apply a voltage and a silver filament grows across the gap: reach the gold and it bridgeslow resistance, the current flows. Reverse it and the filament dissolves — the gap returns, high resistance. Gold removed and silver remains, or gold stays and silver leaves — exactly one, and the cell remembers which.
The signature is the pinched loop: at zero volts, zero current — but the resistance depends on the whole history of charge, not the moment. Chua’s fourth element; a bit with no power.
