resource restriction
Table of Contents
Resource restriction is the idea of restricting accessible or required resource, usually as preparation for later processing.
By restricting resource used in the processing, there is less to process, and hence quicker running time. If the result would be similar, hence higher efficiency.
This idea is widely adopted in various domains: Previous states are assumed to be irrelevent in Markov Assumption; Adaptionist Coginitive Architecture (like NARS) use only part of its knowledge base to reason (so 2 accesses to knowledge base about the same proposition like Trump is blonde would give different confidence value).
