RE: Money as Memory: In a Global Social Computer? | Blockchain as Memory in a Social Dispersed Computer?
@dana-edwards sir!
You have raised a very difficult question. Money is memory, then computer should be a means of collecting money. Social operating system is a storage of various types of memory, which displays the memory capacity of the social network as a data structure.
In theory an algorithm on a computer can be designed for the purpose of consuming as much memory as possible but what do we usually call such an algorithm if it consumes unlimited memory and does nothing else?
So the algorithm if efficient will consume the memory necessary to solve the problems. A task on an operating system is to consume enough to efficiently solve the problem the task is to solve. Interesting question you raised which should be explored further but my current thinking is that because resources are not unlimited (and are scarce) the memory capacity of real computers is finite. So this means in the real world resources are indeed finite and no amount of printing unlimited money changes this resource constraint from being physical reality.
Yes sir, the capability of Computer is limited. After all, such situations will be created when calculations exceed the capabilities, we will need to restore it. In a way, the human brain is not less than any computer storage which is filled with various types of data, even if Unable to make exact calculations at all times, we still need rest to refresh the brain. If the computer's storage capacity is filled in the exact same way, it needs to be restored or enhanced in data capacity.regards
