It's not considered as some special type of memory in this context. Unless you have a case for the opposite, this stuff is irrelevant.
Depends on a particular analogy.
In any case, this question seems irrelevant and rather silly. Is the force of a gravitational pull in models of Newtonian physics constant, does it have a shape, is it a real number, or a vector in R^2, or a vector in R^3, or a vector in R^4, or some other sort of tensor? Obviously, that depends on the relevant context regarding those models.
Also, in what sense would a memory have a 'shape' in any relevant analogy?
Obviously, this sentence makes no sense if it is considered literally. So, you have to explain what you mean by that.
