IIRC Multics (among other systems) had both segmentation and paging, and a unified memory/storage architecture.

[I had thought that Multics' "ls" command abbreviation stood for "list segments" but the full name of the command seems to have been just "list". Sadly Unix/Linux didn't retain the dual full name (list, copy, move...) + abbreviated name (ls, cp, mv...) for common commands, using abbreviated names exclusively.]

Correct. 'Segments' are the Proper Unit to think about a bag of bits doing a computation; pages sitting under segments is how VM systems worked to only load the active parts of segments; that's kind of what defined Demand Paging. We have got to get back to the garden here, we need to start valuing security and safety at least as much as raw speed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multics?useskin=vector Tagged memory, Capabilities (highly granular), and, yes, segments. Probably needs a marketing refresh (renaming) so as to not be immediately discarded.
