Abstract
Postulated in 1971, the memristor did not see the light of day until a serendipitous discovery at HP nearly four decades later. Here, I reminisce on the crisis that inspired me to develop an axiomatic nonlinear circuit theory where the memristor emerges naturally as the fourth basic circuit element.
