Abstract
The main result of this letter is that SOC naturally arises as a result of memory effects. We show that memory effects provide the mechanism for self organization. A general procedure to investigate this issue in models that display self organized critical behaviour is proposed and applied to some example. The simplest class of models exhibiting self organized criticality through this mechanism is introduced and discussed in some detail. PACS: 02.50-r, 05.40+j, 05.40jk
