Is caching the best mental model of how these jillions of “100hz processors” operate?
An alternate: lossy decompression. Rather like, for instance, how dna information is expressed during an individual’s life. (And, one cannot help but suspect, at a much larger scale than that of the lives of individuals.)
A reason to prefer “lossy compression” over “caching”: “Caching” leads one to believe that the information is cached without loss. And, one tends to look around to find where the uncompressed bits can be stored.
But, I’ll admit I’ve failed to put together the pieces of a general intelligence machine using a lossy compression model. So maybe it’s a bogus model, too.
