(20461) Dioretsa, select from the inventory

(20461) Dioretsa is a damocloid object discovered in June of 1999. The orbit is between the main asteroids belt and Kuiper belt. It has a perihelion of 2.4 AU and an aphelion of 45.3 AU. There is a prediscovery image back to June of 1998. It has an inclination of 160.4º (180-160.4º=19.6º).

The name of (20461) Dioretsa is the word 'asteroid' spelled backwards to reflect its retrograde movement, which is related with autonomy and self-contained.

With (20461) Dioretsa, the nourishment of the main asteroids belt has to be understood in the context of the high artificial intelligence of the Kuiper belt:

Management of computer RAM memory

"Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of computer data storage. A random-access device allows stored data to be accessed directly in any random order. In contrast, other data storage media such as hard disks, CDs, DVDs and magnetic tape, as well as early primary memory types such as drum memory, read and write data only in a predetermined order, consecutively, because of mechanical design limitations. Therefore, the time to access a given data location varies significantly depending on its physical location." (Wikipedia: Random-access memory)

Although RAM memory is very fast, it has a very limited size, which implies that it has to be priorized.

 
 
Choose what to take from your inventory when there are limitations of space   In the video game "Resident Evil" (PSX, 1996), the carrying capacity of the player is limited depending on the character selected; the items that the player does not wish to carry at the moment can be stored into an item box to be retrieved for later use. The video game "Metal Gear Solid" (PSX, 1999), is based in similar use of items.
