Clearity and Simplicity
I'm biased since I have worked with Pentti on his Sparse Distributed Memories at NASA Ames. I would highly recommend you reading his book since he is very careful and general in his use of statistics of large bit vectors. I am continually amazed at how much can be extracted from such vectors and the richness of their properities. SDM is similar to associative memories but simpler in form but just as general. Work is continuing at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) on Dr. Kanerva's ideas.

Powerful but simple theory.
Like most powerful theories this one is simple. It describes a mathematical model that mimics some aspects of human memory. The book is also refreshingly concise for an academic work.
