Well, the main disadvantage of not representing knowledge is that doing so makes you completely unintelligent ;-) [Of course, whether or not this is really a disadvantage is a philosophical question, I suppose. It has been said that ignorance is bliss ... ] Seriously: Do you mean to suggest

My question was more to the different methodology of knowledge Representations (KR) and Knowledge Base (KB) types of designs and their performance at retrieving facts in respect to the computer time/computer instructions required to retrieve facts and storage requirements. Well, viewing the

On the subject of declarative memories vs procedural ones, I've come across accounts of patients who lost their declarative memory totally (the common amnesia), but retained procedural memory. For example, the patient was able to drive or dine with forks and knives etc but forgot everything that

Novamente can run on a distributed network of machines, using both RAM and disk for memory; hence in principle it has no limits of storage except those imposed by cost... Of course there are limitations in terms of RAM access time and distributed processing overhead, but these are the familiar

IMO, it seems common both in governments and in doctors to treat the symptoms and not the underlying cause... I.e. your cold flu symptoms are treated with Sinus medication to drain your sinus pressure, something for aches pains and fever, and something to relieve your cough. In time, your
