HTM and different Column Layers

I didn’t quite understand how exactly a new object can be trained (if you don’t separate the stages of training and object identification)?

That paper required separate stages for training and testing.
However there are theories for how this could happen in a continuous on-line environment.

And I recorded this explanation of the theory:

Update: I recorded a video lecture on this topic: [Kropff & Treves, 2008 for Numenta and the HTM Forum] The slides are at https://github.com/ctrl-z-9000-times/KropffTreves2008_reproduction/blob/master/grid_cells_presentation.pdf References Kropff & Treves, 2008 HTM Spatial Pooler A Theory of How Columns in the Neocortex Enable Learning the Structure of the World
