The SMI circuit we talk about is what we think two layers in the column are doing (2/3 & 4). Can we use this knowledge to speculate about how other circuits might work? Can we experiment with different IO and routings?

If a location signal can be generated and shared with the rest of the column, what other signals could be generated?

Just some seeds for thought.
