The term “Object layer” and “Output layer” are used interchangable in reference to the layer in TBT which represents the object/concept being attended. I prefer “Object layer”, because the word “output” implies that the goal of the CC circuit is some sort of input > output function like in DL, which I believe is the wrong perspective.
I don’t know what CP is, sorry. I see the link to it in the quote above, so I’ll take a look. Note that I’ve been unplugged from HTM for quite a while, so my perspective is likely outdated.
