Re: dumb question: what is the antonym of "memoryless"?

i'm sure you can see the root to this question. "nonmemoryless" is a
double negative and clumsy.

when categorizing systems into dichotomies, we might have:

time-variant vs. time-invariant
linear vs. nonlinear
casual vs. acausal
???? vs. memoryless

what's the best word for this? what prefix means "having"? the
opposite of "sans"?

Maybe 'mnesic/amnesic' or 'mnemonic/amnemonic' could be used. Or, just
'memoryless/memoried'.
