How do the molecules know that they are no longer part of a single entity (the loaf) but rather part of a separate entity("*the slice"). Do they have infinite memory? or will they forget, and drift back into the loaf state eventually?

Because, once they are free, they realize how much they like it and stay separate!
For example: individual sandwiches are much happier and fulfilled than a sub sandwich, which tends to loose it's identity rather quickly if you don't eat it right away.
Am I right, or am I right?

Because some of the molecues have been cut in half.
As soon as you put the knife to the slice you kill that poor loaf of bread, as you have hurt some of the molecules. The remaining alive molecules, then die in sympathy, meaning that you can cut as many more slices of without having to worry about them going back to the loaf again.

The molecules of course "know" nothing; the cutting breaks the bonds between the molecules on the opposite side of the slice, and since the structure of the bread is disrupted, attempting to re-merge by aligning the slices won't work.

Because of the law of, "Conservation of Cuts." If you've ever had a very severe cut on your body, it was probably because somebody else in the Universe had a cut that healed.
It's possible with bread, but extremely rare, because their pi mesons lack the kinetic energy to contact the warp layer messenger mesons that keep the "cut info layer" relaying cut statuses throughout the Universe.
The new cut does not violate the "conservation of cut", because somewhere a first-grader ate a peanut butter sandwich and destroyed some of that "new" cut.

The steam engine devoid of we could although be residing like retards... yet not some thing beats sliced bread... as a terrific guy as as we communicate as pronounced to his lover...."your the sexiest element via way of actuality sliced bread" lol i'm not making that up

Molecules don't have any memory. One the slice is cut away, there are no forces holding it together anymore.

I don't think there is a memory. It's like leggo, if you make something, then break it down the middle, and place the 2 pieces close to one another, without other forces it will not get back together.
It's like humpty dumpty.

no clue.. im not a science whiz. but it probably has something to do with the bonds being broken..
