Hi Fergal,

this is great work!!, I really like the detailed and thought through
describtion on
http://inbits.com/2013/11/adding-prediction-to-the-nupic-spatial-pooler/

First off, I dont know where to ask, so be it ML for ideas, and GH for
code..

I like the idea of unifying data structures (columns with cells) for TP and
SP.

My question is, what makes SP now not being the same as TP? Or is it, that
SP reacts to predictive cells of a TP above, but does not make any
predictions (SP's) itself? I know i real region, SP+TP are blended
together, we had them separated here for sometimes only one functionality
is needed. That is, how is the SPenhanced better/different than current
SP+TP?

I would slightly worry the performance impact for bigger workload, still
this is a must have for it's bio-correctness!

What makes me trouble is this quote: "

The SP doesn’t know anything about TP’s. In fact, it thinks it has only one
cell per column, or that a cell and a column are the same thing. That’s why
it has one feedforward dendrite per column. The TP only knows about the SDR
of columns, it doesn’t see inside the SP, so it can’t see any feedforward
dendrites. So, if we want to do this, we have to connect the column and its
cells (at least virtually). This would happen in the Region (which owns
both).
"
Does it mean (see Q1) that SP will be bounded to a TP? I want to do work
where SP, TP, encoders would mix with other parts of the system, and an SDR
vector seems as the best "API" to communicate. Would that mean the new
implementation would be unusable there?

Thanks,
breznak
