Also I agree with the whole, "t's not a simulation and doesn't need to be"
sentiment. If you can just get either the minicolumn or hypercolumn
functionality right, than aside from connecting other modules and their
functionality of the brain, then you don't need an individual neuron
There are plenty of things that HTM is not aligned with in terms of biology.
For example global inhibition I mentioned earlier. The only reasoning behind
global and local inhibition that I have seen so far is that 'there is
inhibition so we inhibit in A way'. If that weren't the case there
I would caution people just saying HTM is supported by 'x' papers. As for
@Zoey_Lee question, it's neural plausible, not necessarily neurally confirmed.
If you don't want to read every one of the cited papers, I think the main take
away from neuroscience and cortical columns that HTM has
