It was overengeneered.  I have tried to draw new design here:

all elements are actually arrays of the same elements.

I am not sure about the AI manager. Should it interact with
everything thru World Manager? Or should it be able to run it's own
queries on spatial database and modify the Object database directly?

PS: Those boxes are not computers, those are separated elements - or
modules. If one takes a SMP computer such as Sun v880, it could run
all on one computer. (but who would pay for such a beast? :))
