Atomspace is just a container, it doesn't take especially much memory
or processing power... unless you put a lot of data in it obviously!

Running MOSES for learning on a Pi isn't going to be a good idea, OTOH
*evaluating* MOSES models that were learned elsewhere is not expensive

The URE rule engine (and so PLN) can run on Raspberry Pi, but
obviously complex inferences will take a long time...

So it's possible to make OpenCog do stuff on embedded processors but
for many applications it may be better to have e.g. an OpenCog on the
Pi that stores a relatively small amount of immediately important
knowledge and does only simple processing (say, perception, action
selection and very simple inference) , and that connects to an OpenCog
on the cloud that does more serious thinking...

“Our first mothers and fathers … were endowed with intelligence; they
saw and instantly they could see far … they succeeded in knowing all
that there is in the world. When they looked, instantly they saw all
around them, and they contemplated in turn the arch of heaven and the
round face of the earth. … Great was their wisdom …. They were able to
know all....

But the Creator and the Maker did not hear this with pleasure. … ‘Are
they not by nature simple creatures of our making? Must they also be
gods? … What if they do not reproduce and multiply?’

Then the Heart of Heaven blew mist into their eyes, which clouded
their sight as when a mirror is breathed upon. Their eyes were covered
and they could see only what was close, only that was clear to them.”
