Honestly @Bullbash , you-re quite cryptic. Assuming you want your ideas/code to spread, a starting point would be to find someone able to spend time to understand it enough to eventually translate it into python which will (hopefully) expand the ‘audience’ within ML-oriented people exponentially. Yet that to happen requires your effort to feedback too, since nobody signals to actually understand what you talk about. A ml/python person versed in java too and willing to spend their expensive expertise in figuring out what your code is about, is pretty unlikely to be hooked by a couple threads in a low impact forum like this one.

It is cool (and potentially impressive) that it can recite Shakespeare in reverse yet when ML people can’t have a _good readout_ of both/either core ideas and example code, they will be tempted to just pass by towards the next cooler new thing in AI (of which are plenty).

Now strictly on your last above message it clicks some “inner” links. You might want to check Dileep George and his concept of [mapping cognitive spaces with sequences](https://discourse.numenta.org/t/space-is-a-latent-sequence/10334/5)

As other people related to Numenta he shares the opinion DL/transformers [are not](https://blog.dileeplearning.com/p/ingredients-of-understanding) the appropriate tool for learning sequences or intelligence in general.
