"Autosophy databases work best with large Content Addressable Memories
(CAM). An ideal CAM would have storage capacities in the Terabit range,
fast access, cheap and rugged construction, and low power consumption.
The CAROM Content Addressable Read Only Memory, explained in a separate
tutorial, has all those characteristics. Such memory modules could be
implemented in complementary pairs to assure system reliability with
cross-verification and repair. Giant multimedia databases could thus
be built to virtually never fail. ...
Each location address can also be erased and relocated to other
sections of the memory. The CAROM is therefore usable both as a
Content Addressable Memory (CAM) and a Random Addressable
Memory (RAM). Memory locations are normally filled with data, by
the learning algorithms, starting from the bottom of the memory and
proceeding to the top. All network types (such as serial, parallel
and associative) are interleaved in the same storage device."

"The new Content Addressable Read Only Memory (CAROM) is being
developed with help from the U.S. Army to replace the CD-ROM in
severe conditions, and as the memory for a future brain-like
Autosopher. The same device can be used as a Random Addressable
Memory (RAM) or Content Addressable Memory (CAM)."
