YKY said: If the inference requires a rule outside the sub-KB, you'd have to do a very expensive swap. I think this only works if you're sure the entire inference is contained within a sub-KB.
Right. I envision Texai deployed as distributed agents operating within a hierarchical control system. Each agent's mission will be scoped to require immediate access to only a cache of some KB partition. Hopefully infrequent, cache misses will incur the penalty you mention, either to local disk, or worse - to the network. I also expect the system to be adaptive to whatever the user's computer allows with regard to resources (e.g. more RAM begets faster response). I am also considering torrent-style transfers to satisfy cache misses. As you point out an AGI's KB query is likely to access other linked objects (e.g. spreading activation search). So given that users will likely have asymmetric Internet connection bandwidth, It may be faster for large chunks of cache-filling KB data to be obtained simultaneously in slices from a multitude of collaborating peer agents. -Steve Stephen L.
