It’s possible that clearance of this particular virus is dependent on cellular responses – such as cytotoxic T cells.

lets say, a persons with multiple myeloma cannot make antibodies. These individuals are still able to clear viral infections from their body using their adaptive immune response. How is this possible?

Looks like you’ve done your research very well.

What is 'remembered' is conserved protein sequences that bind
antibodies (in the case of B cell memory, for example). Every particle
is not antigenically different – the genome is different but that does
not always translate into different protein. When differences emerge
in antigenic sites, that's when antigenic drift occurs, and antibodies
no longer neutralize the virus. More on this to come.

What exactly is "remembered" here? Since every viral particle is different, it would seem that the adaptive system needs to remember "similarities" and not just individual signatures.

In other words, they seem to have somehow classified viruses by serial homology, in my view.

Are there disadvantages to having too broad of spectrum of "memory" in different aspects of the adaptive system? How is that memory "tuned" and "modulated"?

I remain intriuged by the notion that all this coding and "memory" in viral systems can be informed by the debate on mathematical linguistics.
