This is pretty cool. However, I don't think this will be a practical way to implement HTMs. The mechanisms for HTM require many steps of processing and much of it is locally specific, e.g. each dendrite segment. I don't see how this could be done with chemical gradients. Would love to be proved wrong. Jeff
