Yes, in the sense that inputs (input clusters) are parameterized with derivatives ("connections") from lower-level cross-comp of their elements, etc. Both input cluster and its param set can be hierarchical. The connection between two or more compared inputs is the result of comparison of their parameters, it's formed if their summed match is above local average.

That shared prediction in your sense would be higher-level (output) cluster that both of these clusters are in. Which only happens if they match, directly or through some intermediate clusters that they match to. In the later case, yes, there would be no direct comparison between the two on the lower level, although they will likely be compared in a secondary confirmation mechanism on a higher level.

In my scheme there is conditional cross-comp among elements of matching clusters, if the match is above corresponding order of local average. That's secondary to comparison between param sets that mentioned above, would that solve your problem? Again, both param sets and element sets of compared clusters are nested, with max depth = elevation in system-wide search hierarchy. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T5d6fde768988cb74-M06b0b76455c53b520c9acff9 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
