Basic / Specific Questions about coding HTM

[Bitking]

I have a post with the particulars of mini-column and dendrite geometry here:

Project : Full-layer V1 using HTM insights

I have been conversing with @gmirey for some time on this general topic. We endeavored to get a sense of the scale of the relative dimensional quantities of the temporal layer, inputs and cell/column spacing, number and range of the connections. You know - the basic facts of making a realistic model. Some of what was discussed was what is known about reach and density of the dendritic arbor in the “input” layer. We established the key factors would be: what is the spacing of the ascending cort…

Some of the confusion is that since HTM models such a small part of the cortex it was easier to just connect to to the entire array with every dendrite. Real cortex has the limits I described above.
