Is there a Mathematical Model for a HTM Neuron , Am pretty sure i read something in the BAMI paper , but i guess am looking for much more implementable model that would make sense of the neuron.

I don’t know if thins is what you are looking for. There was a paper in 2016 formulating the HTM Neuron.

I bet this’ll help if you haven’t seen it already:
