Actually, memory masters ascribe a sequence (a la a song) to store multiple things. I think time/sequence i.e. auto-association is arguably the most important element in human memory. Some have described it as a memory house with various rooms and objects and navigating it.

The more "nonsensical" as you put it, the more distinctive & discriminant the memory is.

Edit: formatting & more details.
