• Fastest memory is usually the most limited. • Fixed storage is faster than mobile storage Except for tapes, mobile storage is smaller than fixed storage the most efficient way. So the power of the instruction isn’t for free the interpretation keeps them limited. So on level 1 it is just expressed as K because thats the base. On level 2 it is k(n/m) because the cost of the interpreting over the power shows how the power is limited by the translation. For the following 2 levels it increases exponentially. So for level 3 it is k(n/m)^2 and for level for it is k(n/m)^3.
