The limitation of time and memory

This is an article about the most important limitation of life: time and memory.
The clock is ticking
To me, time is the most important limitation. You have to think clearly that time always move forward and this notion of hours and days is a constraint that can be summarized as a 24 hours repartition on an average day:
- around 12 hours of incompressible time (sleep, transportation, etc..)
- and so potentially 12 hours of work/training/…
Cannot access memory at address 0x01
After time, memory is another important limitation because you cannot store an infinite amount of information in your head. And there is also the fact that you can have corrupted data.
I often represent my memory as a key-value store or as a graph database. In fact, I mainly challenge my brain on short-term memory and instinct work behavior.
