It's a twist on the HTM CLA. It's sort of an ant swarm intelligence concept. The hope is that it's more scalable and simpler. It's really just a fun thought exercise for now.
The basic idea:
- You have a network of cells
- Each cell listens for activations from remote cells
- If that same active cell was predicted to be active by a different cell, then it sends a prediction feedback message and that prediction becomes stronger
- Right now, the activations and predictions are time-expiring (for better or worse - this is still in flux)
The hope:
- Anomaly detection
- Scalable learning (small local tables leading to a distributed memory mesh, no need for billions of synapses (read: pointers))
- Online learning
What isn't yet:
- There's no conversion from actual outside data to SDR which is presumed to be fed into the mmesh as input activations
