How can I reconstruct the input using an SDR?

I've found a way to decode SDRs

I have found a way to decode SDRs in some cases. Suppose you are encoding a scalar. Suppose you use 21 bits to encode each number. Each number is shifted over by one in the encoder, so adjacent numbers are semantically similar. You now feed the encoded bits into the spatial pooler, and get an SDR. Suppose you would like to be able to do the reverse - get the original encoded value from the SDR. One way to do it is this: (steps follow). 1. create a buffer the size of the encode buffer, b…
