As far as I can tell , the mind remembers things in terms of "wall,
slightly bumpy texture, white" and not much more than that, at least if
you aren't focusing on the object. If a picture has text in it, it seems
that you remember the text, not the bitmap.

As for having an encoder do one leaf texture and the decoder produce
lots of modified copies of it, this is totally unworkable with the
current state of computing. While this would be the ultimate
representation of a scene, being able to encode or play back such
representations is probably at least 20 years off, at a bare minimum,
and more likely 50 or more. You're just a little bit ahead of what the
hardware can do ;-)
