Biological way to decode SDR back to Objects

@rhyolight

am not sure there is a biologically feasible way to do this. In biology, we don’t decode anything. The decoding is a way for us to try to peek into the internal reality of the intelligent system. It is a hack, and it is not the way we will eventually communicated with these systems

Just heads up, that we eventually went that way, with decoding as impossible:

Biological Constraints

In the C++ community fork, we’re considering dropping support for several features which are not biologically plausible, but which may be useful nonetheless. Summary of the features in question: BacktrackingTM This is a variant of the Temporal Memory algorithm. It is specialized for anomaly detection, and on the Numenta Anomaly Benchmark it scores approximately 5% higher than the regular Temporal Memory. It is not biologically plausible. Numenta has stopped working on it in favor of the regul…
