DAS (Distributed AtomSpace)
Responsible: André Senna
DAS is a high-speed, dynamic memory fabric for massive, mutable hypergraphs. It decouples vast persistence (Long-Term Importance) from immediate attention dynamics (Short-Term Importance in RAM), governed by an Attention Broker that constrains search space to relevant atoms.
