We’ve defined a class of algorithms called Discrete Cortical Circuits (DCC). These algorithms are modeled or inspired from the microcircuits of the brain’s cortical column. With some deliberate choices to discretize many aspects of the network, while also focusing on the assembly of neurons into a “block” or “group” as a fundamental unit of computation, DCCs become very unlike classical artifical neural networks.
