@cogmission Hi David. On Github? My projects all precede Github :-) Re. "an overt managing mechanism with no biological plausibility deep within an HTM?" FWIW I think this all fits...

I've been looking at Felix's experiment with spreading activation to count paths (commit above.) It gets some nice results, but there's a problem with spreading activation that loops and gives...

@floybix. I probably should sleep on this. But here's an unpolished version anyway. According to the "release early, release often" principle. > Just considering identity, not generalisation, to begin with....

Actually, rather than plotting both context and identity as clouds across the sequence, and having a hard threshold to split them out of the cloud into sequence again, it would...

You're right about the dimensions. Pushing everything to 2D is artificial. Even column clusterings will have many many dimensions. But I think the combination of columns and context should allow...

@floybix Perhaps this should be a separate "issue", but how are sequences of states represented now (in pooling?) It strikes me that a sequence of states could be represented as...

@floybix I agree a pooled representation of this kind should have its own layer. Though the form of the pooled layer would be exactly the same as the one representing...
