+1 Hideaki, good points.

I feel using redundant terms across the main functionalities (Memory or
Pooler) is a waste of characters and obscures the meaning. Also, using
multiple words hides what is the most important thing. For example:

SP or SpatialPooler would be better as Recogniser or Patterner or
Representer (1 word), or SpatialRepresenter etc (2 words)
(old) TP or TemporalPooler   ""   ""  Predictor or ContextPredictor
(new) Temporal Pooler might be Stabiliser or StableSequencer etc (or just
Temporal Pooler)

 I like the use of Context in old TP, it does add meaning.
