System for updating an associative memory

A method comprising:

• receiving, in a first tangible memory, an update to a first table from which an associative memory has been built, wherein the first table comprises a first record, wherein the first record comprises a first field and a second field, wherein the associative memory is configured to ingest the first field, wherein the associative memory comprises a plurality of data and a plurality of associations among the plurality of data, and wherein the associative memory is further configured to avoid ingesting the second field;
• comparing, using a first processor, the first table to a second table in a second tangible memory to identify one of:
• whether the first field should be forgotten by the associative memory or whether the first field should be ingested by the associative memory, wherein the second table comprises a second record, wherein the second record includes a third field, and wherein the third field stores first information indicating at least one of:
• whether the first field has been ingested by the associative memory or has been forgotten by the associative memory, and wherein a comparison is formed;
• and
• updating, using a second processor, the associative memory by performing one of:
• ingesting the first field or forgetting the first field.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer usable program code comprising:

• computer usable program code for receiving, in a first tangible memory, an update to a first table from which an associative memory has been built, wherein the first table comprises a first record, wherein the first record comprises a first field and a second field, wherein the associative memory is configured to ingest the first field, wherein the associative memory comprises a plurality of data and a plurality of associations among the plurality of data, and wherein the associative memory is further configured to avoid ingesting the second field;
• computer usable program code for comparing, using a first processor, the first table to a second table in a second tangible memory to identify one of:
• whether the first field should be forgotten by the associative memory or whether the first field should be ingested by the associative memory, wherein the second table comprises a second record, wherein the second record includes a third field, and wherein the third field stores first information indicating at least one of:
• whether the first field has been ingested by the associative memory or has been forgotten by the associative memory, and wherein a comparison is formed;
• and
• computer usable program code for updating, using a second processor, the associative memory by performing one of:
• ingesting the first field or forgetting the first field.
