William James described a distinction between primary and secondary memory in 1890, where primary memory consisted of thoughts held for a short time in consciousness and secondary memory consisted of a permanent, unconscious store. [2] But at the time the parsimony of separate memory stores was a contested notion.
Memory segmentation is an operating system memory management technique of dividing a computer's primary memory into segments or sections.In a computer system using segmentation, a reference to a memory location includes a value that identifies a segment and an offset (memory location) within that segment.
Secondary storage is non-volatile (retaining data when its power is shut off). Modern computer systems typically have two orders of magnitude more secondary storage than primary storage because secondary storage is less expensive. In modern computers, hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) are usually used as secondary storage.
Single-level storage (SLS) or single-level memory is a computer storage term which has had two meanings. The two meanings are related in that in both, pages of memory may be in primary storage or in secondary storage (disk), and that the physical location of a page is unimportant to a process.
The memory cell is the fundamental building block of computer memory. The memory cell is an electronic circuit that stores one bit of binary information and it must be set to store a logic 1 (high voltage level) and reset to store a logic 0 (low voltage level). Its value is maintained/stored until it is changed by the set/reset process.
The term short-term store was the name previously used for working memory. Other suggested names were short-term memory, primary memory, immediate memory, operant memory, and provisional memory. [8] Short-term memory is the ability to remember information over a brief period (in the order of seconds).

Fractional difference of 2 is the 2nd derivative or 2nd difference. note: applying fractional differencing changes the units of the problem. If we started with Prices then take fractional differences, we no longer are in Price units. determining the order of differencing to make a time series stationary may be an iterative, exploratory process.
