I'm arguing that the necessary *core* for intelligence plus enough "cached chunks" (as you phrase it) to support the current thought processes WILL fit into RAM. It's obviously ludicrous that all the world's knowledge is going to fit into RAM at one time.
Then we have no disagreement. Notice that the loading-on-demand "chunks" require that we *duplicate* data. For example facts about "JK Rowling" can be in a "literature" chunk as well as a "entrepreneur" chunk. The question is whether DBMSs support this. "Materialized views" may be the answer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialized_view). As I said before, minimizing disk access is still an important issue. And all this is peripheral to AGI. I wish I can just focus on AGI algorithms!
